aaus-list @ ukrainianstudies.org -- [aaus-list] First Ukrainian Film Club event of 2007

[Diana Howansky <dhh2@columbia.edu>]

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY:

The first Columbia Ukrainian Film Club event of 2007 will feature new 
films from Ukraine in narrative, documentary, and animation genres -- 
three American premiers:

"The Name" (2006), director Alla Yakovleva
"There Was a Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" (2005), director Olena Fetysova
"Wandering Around" (2005), director Anatoliy Lavrenyshyn

"The Name" (U.S. premier) is a short feature (25") based on the story of 
Yuri Alesha. It is one of the recent works of perhaps the most 
recognized Ukrainian film and theater actor, Bohdan Stupka. The creation 
of the Ukrainian language version of the film was sponsored by the 
Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia University.

"There Was a Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" (U.S. premier) is a short 
documentary (30") about a married couple who dedicated their lives to 
rearing abandoned children they adopted from an orphanage.

"Wandering Around" is a short animation film (10") about a young man 
meandering in and out of reality, besieged by his insecurity and 
repressed fears, dreaming of finding his true love.

All the films are in Ukrainian with English subtitles. The program will 
be introduced by Yuri Shevchuk, the director of the Ukrainian Film Club 
at Columbia University. Discussion will follow the screening.

WHEN: Thursday, January 18, at 7:30 PM
WHERE: 717 Hamilton Hall, Columbia University, 1130 Amsterdam Ave., New 
York, NY (subway train #1 to 116th St.)

The screening is free and open to everybody.
