It was in May that Jamala won the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest for Ukraine with her song 1944. After some months since the victory she has finally released an official video for the song. The director and choreographer for the video is Anatoliy Sachivko with cameras by Nikita Kuzmenko.
The video was recorded in the Carpathians, Chernivtsy region of Ukraine. It took three days to shoot in the abandoned military base of Pamir on top of the Tomnatik mountain.
As you may expect the video is quite emotional considering the story that 1944 relays.

We have received the first entry to our lonely planet competition – from SOPHIE LLOYDStockholm 2016 was my first time to Eurovision and I had such a great weekend. I traveled with my boyfriend Harry and my friends Abi and Sam. We went to the jury final on the Friday night and although that was clearly the main highlight, one of the most memorable times was on the Friday afternoon when we had just arrived and went to meet our friends Beth and Stuart for a drink. They live in Hong Kong so we hadn’t seen them for a while and they were perched out on a pontoon on the water with a whole group of people drinking rose and sitting in the sun. Stockholm looked so beautiful. Everyone we met was also going to Eurovision and we were all so excited and looking forward to the show. It really showed the best of Eurovision – bringing people together from all around the world and the chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones!
