The Tribeca Film Festival in New York City showcased the world premiere of the Ukrainian film anthology "War Through the Eyes of Animals".

One of the segments was directed by Myroslav Slaboshpytskyi, featuring Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, with a soundtrack from the band Imagine Dragons.

Idea creator Oleg Kokan emphasized that the film's mission is to «use the power of art to tell the world who we are and what we are fighting for».

After the screening, American actor Chris Noth inquired about the incredible realism of the performances.

Actress Daria Marchenko responded: «We are not acting; we have been living this reality for four years».

Journalists described the film as a poignant reflection on war through the silent suffering of animals caught in human conflict.

The anthology consists of stories based on true events.

The Ukrainian premiere is scheduled for fall 2025, after which the film will be released worldwide.

The credits feature a promo code that allows viewers from any country to contribute to fundraising efforts for those affected by the war, both humans and animals.
