‘PORCELAIN WAR,’ ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED AND DGA-WINNING DOCUMENTARY ON UKRAINE WAR, RECEIVES SPECIAL HONORS IN BERLIN AND THE HAGUE

Published

on

Film Nominated for ‘Most Valuable Documentary of the Year’ at the
Cinema for Peace Dove Awards in Berlin and
Set for a Special Screening at The Hague in the Netherlands

Events to Continue to Shine a Spotlight on the Fight for Ukraine
as the Three-Year Anniversary Approaches

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Academy Award-nominated, DGA-winning and 2025 duPont–Columbia Award-winning documentary PORCELAIN WAR, about ordinary artists and citizens fighting to defend their country and culture, will travel to Europe this weekend for two prestigious events that highlight Ukraine’s ongoing fight as the third anniversary of the war approaches.

Co-director Brendan Bellomo will attend the Cinema for Peace Foundation’s prestigious Gala Awards Ceremony in Berlin on Feb. 17, where the film has been nominated for “Most Valuable Documentary of the Year.” Additionally, Porcelain War has been invited for a special screening at The Hague on Feb. 20 in the Netherlands.

The Cinema for Peace Foundation, established in 2008, uses the power of film to influence perceptions and resolutions of global, social, political, and humanitarian challenges. The organization has supported films and honored individuals such as Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, and Nelson Mandela.

The Hague event is expected to attract numerous high-level guests, including multiple ambassadors, ministry representatives, the Dutch Special Envoy for Ukraine, members of parliament, European Commission representatives, and cultural leaders. Confirmed speakers include the Chargé d’Affaires at the Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands, the Dutch Special Envoy, a representative from the Municipality of The Hague, and the managing director of The Hague Humanity Hub.

“At a time when global distractions abound, we are deeply honored to have these opportunities to remind audiences of the realities facing the people of Ukraine,” said Bellomo. “The ongoing tragedy experienced by civilians, as highlighted in our film, demands continued attention as the war enters its third year.”

Winner of the 2024 Sundance Grand Jury Prize: U.S. Documentary, PORCELAIN WAR is a powerful testament to resilience, capturing the enduring hope and passion of ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances. As war devastates their homeland, three artists choose to remain in Ukraine—armed with their art, their cameras, and for the first time, their guns.

Recently hailed by Deadline as “incredibly prescient, present, and powerful in telling everybody that the resistance is anywhere you are, anywhere you go—it is art and spirit, because they’re the same thing,” Porcelain War was released in theaters across North America by Picturehouse beginning in November, opening in more than 50 cities  so far nationwide – and re-opening in New York this weekend and continuing its run in Los Angeles and 10 more cities.

This release has been updated to include new information provided by TrendAI. The complete, corrected release follows, with additional details at the end:

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.

About TrendAI™
TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. Trusted by the largest enterprises and governments across 185 countries, TrendAI™ secures the entire organization, from identities, to infrastructure, to data. Global Fortune 500 companies rely on TrendAI™ to cut risk and stop threats up to three months earlier, powered by world-leading threat and attack intelligence. Through deep ecosystem partnerships with market leaders like NVIDIA, Anthropic, AWS, Google, and Microsoft, TrendAI™ empowers your organization to securely drive forward at the speed of AI. AI Fearlessly. Learn more: trendaisecurity.com
