ZEMLYA (EARTH) - film (ua with eng subtitles)
Zemlya is the most famous Ukrainian film, a masterpiece of world cinema and a poetic film about collectivisation in Ukraine at the end of the 1920s. It tells of the founding of the first collective farms and class antagonism: Vasyl, a member of the Komsomol, gets himself a tractor – the first in the community – with the help of a local party organisation and causes a lot of excitement. After the men urinate in the overheated cooler, the peasants plough the land with the tractor and harvest the grain, ploughing up the kulaks’ fences in the process. Vasyl’s enthusiasm will cost him dearly...
The film is shown with a contemporary soundtrack of the ethno-chaos band DakhaBrakha. The references of the 1920s and 1930s are thus mixed with the modern gaze of the 21st century.
With an introduction by Oleksandr Teliuk, Chief Archivist of the Dovzhenko Centre.
21.30H - 23H
ZHADAN I SOBAKI - Ska concert
Zhadan i Sobaki defend freedom with music. The lyrics by Serhiy Zhadan combine poetry and punk. Since 2008, the band has been collaborating with the well-known Ukrainian writer and changed its name from Sobaki v kosmose to Zhadan i Sobaki (literally “Zhadan and the dogs”).
