Curiosità

This Rain Will Never Stop is a documentary film by Ukrainian director Alina Gorlova with cinematography by Vyacheslav Tsvetkov. It is a Ukrainian-Latvian-German-Qatari production, produced by Maksym Nakonechnyi for Tabor Production. The film follows a Kurdish-Ukrainian Red Cross worker who delivers aid in the Russo-Ukrainian War and tries to help reconnect with his family which had scattered from the Syrian Civil War.

Production

The film is a Ukrainian-Latvian-German- Dutch (IFFA)-Qatari co-production. It received ₴2.2 million of its ₴6.5 million budget from the State Cinema of Ukraine, with additional funding from the Latvian Film Centre, the IDFA Bertha Fund and the Doha Film Institute. Production was by Maksym Nakonechnyi for Tabor Production (Ukraine), co-produced by Ilona Bičevska for Avantis Promo (Latvia) and Patrick Hamm for Bulldog Agenda (Germany).

The film was shot entirely in black-and-white, which is how Gorlov first remembered seeing the Donbas region with its "slag heaps in industrial landscapes". She also chose this to help draw parallels between Donbas and Syria. Director of photography Viacheslav Tsvietkov shared this aesthetic, which he had used in his previous projects.

The most difficult technical and ethical scene was Lazgin's funeral, which Gorlova filmed with a Syrian camera crew, without the aid of Tsvietkov or direct sound. She had convinced Suleyman family elder Mezgin to allow the filming as a way of bringing the family together, since they were unable to physically reunite.

The score was composed by Goran Gora (instrumentals) and Serge Synthkey (electronic), with sound design by Vasyl Yavtushenko. Editing is by Simon Mozgovyi and Olha Zhurba. The film's dialog is in Ukrainian, Kurdish, Russian, Arabic and German.
