Divia premiered at the 2025 Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The film is a haunting, meditative journey through Ukraine's wounded landscapes, presented entirely without dialogue. Cinematic imagery centers on ecological devastation produced by armed conflict, documenting scorched fields, damaged waterways, and abandoned settlements. The camera lingers on subtle signs of recovery: returning vegetation, human traces of repair, and resilient wildlife. The absence of spoken words amplifies visual rhythms and ambient sound, prompting contemplation of loss and renewal. Production overseen by Ukrainian filmmaker and Los Angeles–based producer Polina Herman grounds the film in both local perspective and international collaboration.
