On September 26, 2023, students of the Department of Fashion Technology of the first (bachelor's) level of the educational programs "Fashion Industry", "Computer Design of the Fashion Industry" and "Textile Technologies of Fashion and Interior Space" and the second (master's) level of the educational program "Fashion Industry" under the guidance of the Head of the Department of Fashion Technology Olha Haranina, curators of the academic groups of the Department of Fashion Technology KNUTD Antonina Babych, Victoria Kernesh, Natalia Borshchevska visited the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, the exhibition project "Create Dovbush Film".

In the conditions of the exhibition, students learned about the peculiarities of creating the film “Dovbush” and had a unique opportunity to personally communicate with the author of the project, director Oles Sanin, listen to the melodic sounds of the trembita performed by the author, see the historical costumes recreated by the project crew using unique ancient technologies, and plunge into the real world of historical events and art.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Oles Sanin's work for Ukrainian cinema and future generations of Ukrainians. He is a vivid representative of the Ukrainian people, a master of his craft, an artist, director, cinematographer, actor, sculptor, musician, and an open and interesting person to talk to. His love for Ukraine, its people and the history of generations allows the director to create vivid and fantastically realistic images, interesting pictures of historical events inspired by the national color, nature and traditions of many generations of the ancestors of the Ukrainian people.

For students of the Department of Fashion Technology, this meeting is an important part of art education, the basis for perceiving the world and seeing the profession of a specialist in life.

During a meeting with the director Oles Sanin and a review of the exhibition of historical costumes, the students analyzed sketches, designs of clothing, footwear, and accessories, materials, color palette, national symbols in embroidery, ornaments, and forged accessories. Certainly, the students received an unforgettable experience of the exhibition and deepened their knowledge of understanding the artistic and historical heritage.

The exhibition and the meeting with the director of the film “Dovbush” were a source of inspiration and creative ideas for the youth's own future projects to create historical costumes or stylize them, using national motifs.

The meeting was interesting and informative. We are sincerely grateful to Oles Sanin and his creative team for the opportunity to plunge into the past and feel the unique beauty, true power and indomitability of the Ukrainian people from the past to the present.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to its Heroes! Glory to the Nation!
