Little Wings

Overview

Short animated story of Shchedryk, known by many as the popular holiday song Carol of the Bells but originally written as a traditional Ukrainian folk song, heralding the coming of spring. Shchedryk's well-wishing lyrics tell the tale of a swallow flying between households, proclaiming the plentiful year that the family will have, inspiration for the tale of Little Wings, which follows a lonesome swallow's adventure to guide carol singers to a family in need of renewed hope. The allegorical 2D handcrafted animation uses Ukrainian culture and creativity to inspire hope and joy in all.

Directed by Rodion Shub, Marianna Sablina
