Our fourth and last special out of four evenings that explore Ukraine through film, art, and conversation. Each evening has its own focus, yet together they form a powerful narrative of loss, resilience, hope, and cultural pride.
We wrap this event with a musical evening with a bandura concert, and watching Man with a Movie Camera: possibly the most famous Ukranian film ever made.
Man with a Movie Camera (1929)
Part documentary and part cinematic art, this film follows a city in the 1920s Soviet Union throughout the day, from morning to night.
Directed by Dziga Vertov, with a variety of complex and innovative camera shots, the film depicts scenes of ordinary daily life in Russia. Vertov celebrates the modernity of the city, with its vast buildings, dense population and bustling industries. While there are no titles or narration, Vertov still naturally conveys the marvels of the modern city. By many called, the greatest documentary ever made.
