As a result of a Russian drone attack on the night of June 10, the territory of the Odessa Film Studio, one of the oldest film studios in Europe, was damaged.

This was reported by the State Film and Film Agency and the film studio, Censor.NET reports .

Production buildings, warehouses with costumes and props, historical scenery, and technical vehicles were damaged.

There were no casualties among the employees, but one of the film studio employees lost her home that night.

At the same time, the sets for the film “Dovzhenko” – a large-scale national project about the most famous Ukrainian director – were completely destroyed. A special game vehicle used in filming was also lost.

“These losses are not just material damage, but a targeted attempt by the enemy to erase memory, to destroy cultural codes that have been formed over centuries. Russia once again demonstrates that its war is directed not only against the Ukrainian people, but also against the culture, heritage and future of Ukraine,” the State Film and Television Agency added.

The Odesa Film Studio is considered one of the oldest film centers in Europe. Over 100 years, over 600 films have been released here, many of which have become classics of Ukrainian cinema.
