We’re excited to introduce a new project that began this summer, directed by our talented colleague, filmmaker Anastasiya Mateshko.
We’re mounting a portrait documentary about Ukrainian virtuoso violinist Vasyl Popadiuk 
a Ukrainian-born virtuoso whose bow fuses classical mastery with Romani, jazz, and Latin energy into performances that feel like lived stories rather than “pieces.” Beyond the stage, his relentless touring and charity work for Ukraine make him a cultural bridge—proof that music can carry grief, grit, and hope across borders.
From the director’s notebook: no single portrait can “contain” him—only hint at a life of road-worn luck, constant travel, and the uneasy peace we make with the imperfections of the macro and micro worlds. And the music… For everyone else it’s his gift and vocation; for Vasyl himself it’s something beyond labels—certainly not “karma” or “a cross” (he’d wince at that). For him, music refuses definition or cliché. Like Vasyl himself.
