Due to a lack of police presence in the Ukrainian village of Stara Zburyivka [uk], mayor Viktor Marunyak assigns the task of protecting the peace to two locals, Viktor Kryvoborodko, aged 50, and Volodymyr Rudkovsky, aged 44. Kryvoborodko and Rudkovsky's work combines the functions of police officers and social workers, as they are tasked with mediating disputes, but not with investigating criminal offenses. The beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War (2014- ) changes their routine, however - village politics become divided, and the sheriffs are tasked with supporting the Ukrainian war-effort.
Productionedit
Ukrainian Sheriffs was filmed over four years,[1] for a total of nearly 200 hours of footage. The first cut of the film was five hours in length and remained over two hours in length until its sixth cut.[2]
Distributionedit
Ukrainian Sheriffs began distribution throughout Europe in February 2016.[3] The film's premiere on German television took place on 4 April 2016 on the Franco-German channel Arte.[4] Distribution of the film in Ukraine began in July 2016 and then in the Baltics and Balkans in September.[3]
Receptionedit
Ukrainian film critic Sergey Trimbach [uk], writing for The Day, praised Ukrainian Sheriffs and described Marunyak, Kryvoborodko, and Rudkovsky as role models for Ukraine, and compared the latter two to American police officers.[5] Neil Young, in The Hollywood Reporter, described Ukrainian Sheriffs as "an episodic, wryly amusing affair, displaying considerable interest in and sympathy with human foibles."[6] Fionnuala Halligan, chief film critic at Screen Daily, also praised the film and predicted that it would do well at international film festivals.[7]
The film won the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam's 2015 Special Jury Award.[13] It also won the Grand Prix at the Docs Against Gravity Festival in Poland, and appeared at a dozen other international film festivals.[11]
