Music documentary featuring 7 Ukrainian gothic bands filmed during the legendary festivals "Children of the Night" and "Nekropolis". Based on my own archival footage from 2005 that I rediscovered and edited in 2026, GOTHIC IS SERENITY aims to showcase a rarely seen alternative aspect of Ukrainian music expressed through dark and melancholic esthetics.
