Documentary film Divia by Dmytro Hresko will be screened at the United Nations International Climate Conference COP30, which takes place from November 10 to November 21, 2025, in Belém, Brazil. The UN Climate Conference takes place every year, and is the world’s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change that brings together almost every country on Earth.

Despite the Russian war, Ukraine continues actively working on the implementation of climate and environmental initiatives and will participate in the conference once again.

Divia will become a part of the events at the Ukraine Pavilion. The event will bring together representatives of the governments, international experts, business representatives, and public figures.

The film will be presented by the producers Polina Herman and Glib Lukianets.

About the film:

The film explores the catastrophic influence of Russian invasion on nature in Ukraine. DIVIA is a meditative, sound-driven journey through a wounded land—an elemental portrait of Ukraine before, during, and beyond the full-scale Russian invasion. Without dialogue or narration, the film unfolds as a metaphysical symphony, where landscapes bear silent testimony to destruction and quiet resilience. Ashen forests, cratered fields, and the rusting skeletons of war machines haunt the frame—each image a trace of the violence etched into the soil.

Yet even here, nature does not halt. Seasons return. Grass pushes through scorched earth. Regeneration begins—slowly, insistently. Through this reverent silence move deminers, body searchers, environmentalists, and animal rescuers. Their presence, almost spectral, speaks of both grief and grace. DIVIA invites viewers into a space where beauty and devastation coexist, and where the act of witnessing becomes a form of renewal.
