Ukrainian Film Festival presents

Sanatorium

Gar O'Rourke, 2025

On the shores of Odesa in Southern Ukraine lies the imposing Kuyalnik Sanatorium, a crumbling Soviet era health facility that has seen better days. Director Gar O'Rourke captures its essence over the course of a summer season, during which ever-dwindling guests come for the rejuvenating mud treatments and strange electroshock therapies, in search of love, healing and happiness.


The Film was selected as the Irish entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards.
