On November 12, 2025, at the Ukraine Pavilion during the United Nations Climate Conference COP30 in Belém, Brazil, a screening of the documentary film DIVIA by director Dmytro Hresko took place.
The film was part of Ukraine’s program at the conference, which runs from November 10 to 21, 2025. COP30 is the world’s principal multilateral decision-making forum on climate change, bringing together nearly every country on Earth.
Despite the full-scale war, Ukraine continues to actively implement climate and environmental initiatives and present them internationally. The screening of DIVIA in Belém gathered government representatives, international experts, business leaders, and members of the public. The film was presented by producers Polina Herman and Hlib Lukianets.
DIVIA explores the catastrophic impact of the Russian invasion on Ukraine’s natural environment. It is a meditative, sound-driven journey through a wounded land—an elemental portrait of Ukraine before, during, and after the full-scale invasion. Without dialogue or narration, the film unfolds as a metaphysical symphony in which landscapes become silent witnesses to destruction and resilience.
Despite the devastation, nature does not stop—seasons return, grass pushes through scorched soil, and renewal slowly begins. In this silence appear deminers, body searchers, environmentalists, and animal rescuers—people whose work embodies both grief and hope. DIVIA invites viewers into a space where beauty and destruction coexist, and where the act of witnessing itself becomes a form of renewal.
