Porcelain War heads into the final days of Oscar voting with considerable momentum. The documentary set in wartime Ukraine won the DGA Award last weekend, honoring the work of directors Brendan Bellomo and Slava Leontyev.

Bellomo is set to attend the Cinema for Peace Foundation’s prestigious Gala Awards Ceremony in Berlin on Monday, where the film is nominated for “Most Valuable Documentary of the Year.” And on Thursday, a special screening of Porcelain War will be held at The Hague in the Netherlands. “The Hague event is expected to attract numerous high-level guests, including multiple ambassadors, ministry representatives, the Dutch Special Envoy for Ukraine, members of parliament, European Commission representatives, and cultural leaders,” notes a release.

Bellomo commented, “At a time when global distractions abound, we are deeply honored to have these opportunities to remind audiences of the realities facing the people of Ukraine.

The ongoing tragedy experienced by civilians, as highlighted in our film, demands continued attention…” The Cinema for Peace Foundation’s gala and The Hague screening come as the war in Ukraine is set to enter its fourth year, on February 24.
