Oksana Karpovych returns to RIDM after her documentary “André Levesque missionnaire” with her debut feature film, providing a unique perspective on her homeland, Ukraine. In this captivating work, she delves into the rich tradition of train films within documentary cinema. Entirely shot on aging, cramped, and heavily used passenger trains, the film immerses viewers in candid conversations, breathtaking landscapes, and the compelling stories of several travelers. Through their experiences and dialogues, the film offers insights into the pressing concerns of a nation deeply influenced by its enduring Soviet past. “Dont Worry, the Doors Will Open” is a poignant exploration of empathy and the art of truly listening, inviting audiences to connect with the shared humanity of its diverse characters.
