Answer

Yes, all of Dovzhenko's films were made in black and white. This is because, at the time he was making his films, the technology to produce color films was not yet fully developed. Additionally, Dovzhenko believed that black and white film was better suited to capturing the stark beauty of the Ukrainian landscape and the harsh realities of peasant life.
