Book tickets
“If we paint, we live – and we’re not lost.”
The film follows Kharkiv-based street artist Gamlet Zinkivskyi on his journey to the recently liberated city of Izium, 60km from the frontline. Amid the ruins left by Russian occupation, Gamlet paints new murals and meets locals who share their stories of survival, loss, and resilience.
Through these encounters with residents like Volodymyr, who lost his family when their building was shelled and collapsed, Gamlet listens, paints, and reflects on what survival and reconstruction mean when devastation remains so near.
Through intimate moments of creation and quiet dialogue, Warning! Life Goes On becomes both a portrait of a city and a meditation on healing, art, and the enduring strength of people rebuilding their lives.
The screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Gamlet Zinkivskyi.

Gamlet Zinkivskyi, the central figure of Warning! Life Goes On, is a leading Ukrainian contemporary artist from Kharkiv whose practice spans painting, graphics, installations, and street art, often combining text with a peculiar graphic manner. His work contemplates memory, resilience, and the quiet philosophy of everyday life. Gamlet’s art, found across Ukraine and internationally, transforms urban spaces into sites of reflection - a spirit vividly captured in Anton Shtuka’s moving documentary.
Presented in partnership with Hyst Agency and UA: projects.
