Mavka The Forest Song is a new Ukrainian animated movie that is scheduled to be released in December 2022. The film was created using computer animation and traditional drawing techniques. In addition to Ukrainian, the film will be screened in English.
Mavka, a beautiful forest nymph, is coming to life in a new 3D-animated short film. Mavka faces an impossible choice between love and her duty when she falls in love with a human. The story is narrated by Mavka’s grandmother, who shares the story of Mavka’s mother, a Forest nymph, and her tragic choice between love and duty.
The story is brought to life through stunning 3D animation and includes some truly beautiful characters. While Mavka’s story may be fiction, it speaks to a very real dilemma that we all face at some point in our lives. Do we follow our hearts or our heads? Our emotions or our duty? Mavka’s story is a reminder that sometimes, the most challenging choices are also the most important ones.
The production of Mavka.
The production of the 3D animated family feature “The Forest Song” was a collaboration between Animagrad studio and FILM.UA Group. The movie was based on the poetic play of the same name by Lesya Ukrainka, which was written in 1991.
In addition, the production team drew inspiration from Slavic mythology to create their own unique take on its heroes and themes. As a result, “The Forest Song” is a heartwarming story that will resonate with viewers of all ages.
The movie is produced by Iryna Kostyuk, Anna Eliseeva, and Egor Olesov, with Oleg Malamuzh and Oleksandra Ruban directing. The scriptwriter is Yaroslav Voytseshek, and Kristian Koskinen serves as the art director.
The music of Mavka The Forst Song
The music in the teaser trailer for the upcoming Ukrainian movie Mavka is a perfect example of how modern musicians are bringing the concept of combining cinematic orchestral music with Ukrainian folk instruments and melodies to life.
The famous folklore multi-instrumentalist Maxym Berezhnyuk and the ethnic band Dakha Brakha are both involved in the soundtrack recording. They do an incredible job of blending traditional Ukrainian music with a more modern sound.
The result is a truly unique and beautiful piece of music that perfectly sets the tone for the trailer. I can’t wait to hear more from these talented musicians when the entire soundtrack is released!
