Roman Rozengurt – Caffeine Film Production, created this animation film in order to explain 5000 kits project.
This project consists of manufacturing emergency relief kits (IFAK). Each pouch contains a tourniquet. With the war we were faced with a shortage of turnstiles.
Mobilized in the army, Ruslan Pijota (@ruslan_ukrainian_force) could not attend the Animation Festival. When Roman proposed to illustrate the 5000 kits project, with his help we immediately accepted.
The 380 volunteers of the movement love "their" Festival, by collaborating with Ukrainian artists they emphasize the need to promote Culture. This is a vector of freedom.
