Okean Elzy: Stormwatch - Movie
Вперше на великому екрані — історія головного гурту незалежної України, «Океан Ельзи: Спостереження Шторму»!
Стрічка поєднує унікальні архіви, невідомі факти та щирі спогади тих, хто творив і розвивав колектив, пісні якого стали символом свободи, любові та боротьби.
Це відверта розповідь про музичні перемоги, шалену популярність поруч із конфліктами, розривами та історичними викликами, які переживала країна.
«Зйомки фільму дали нам, музикантам, унікальну нагоду самим озирнутись на наш шлях у 30 років. Згадати такі події і моменти, про які мало хто пам'ятав, а дехто і не знав навіть. Усі ті виступи, репетиції, зустрічі, прощання, радощі та труднощі, важкі рішення... І пригадавши то все, розумієш, скільки моментів залишалося поза очима публіки. У фільмі ми чесні і відверті. Усі, хто брав участь у зйомках, хто в різні етапи був частиною життя і шляху ОЕ», — поділився Святослав Вакарчук.
Деталі показу:
15 грудня
Mayfair Theatre
1074 Bank St
Початок показу: 18:15
За виробництво відповідала студія KNIFE! Films, відома за стрічкою «Яремчук: Незрівнянний світ краси», серіалами «ЕПІЗОДИ» та «СПАЛАХ».
«За час роботи над фільмом ми опрацювали величезну кількість архівних матеріалів, щоб скласти цілісну історію “Океану Ельзи”. Провели десятки годин відвертих інтерв’ю з колишніми й теперішніми учасниками, а також людьми, які були поруч із гуртом на їхньому шляху.
Неважливо, чи слухаєте ви їх щодня, чи знаєте лише головні хіти — значення цього гурту виходить далеко за межі музики. Завдяки фільму кожен зможе зрозуміти, як “Океан Ельзи” став легендарним явищем для нашої країни», — розповів Максим Сердюк, продюсер фільму, співзасновник KNIFE! Films.

Business battle
Наступна зустріч UBN (Ukrainian Business Network) відбудеться 19 липня в місті Оттава. І тема, яку ви просто не можете пропустити — Цього разу Ukrainian Business Network йде глибше. Ми сідаємо за ігрові столи, де бізнес стає… особистим. Бізнес-батл у форматі стратегічної симуляції “Життєвий Капітал” і ви отримаєте шанс побачити, як саме ви ухвалюєте рішення, керуєте ресурсами, будуєте партнерства, реагуєте на кризу, і що насправді лежить в основі ваших перемог — чи поразок. Бо іноді саме гра відкриває правду, яку не скажуть навіть найчесніші KPI.
Чому саме підприємцям?
✔ Ваша компанія — продовження вашого мислення.
✔ Ваш кешфлоу — дзеркало ваших рішень.
✔ Ваші люди — відображення ваших цінностей.
Життєвий Капітал — це інтерактивний простір, де всі ці аспекти з’єднуються в одну модель. І ти, як гравець, бачиш себе… без фільтрів.
💥 Умови батлу:
6 столів, кожен — під керівництвом двох тренерів.
До 8 учасників за столом.
4 години ігрової стратегії, інтеграції та глибинних інсайтів.
Рефлексивна сесія після гри: найкращі ходи, провали та несподівані відкриття.
