aaus-list @ ukrainianstudies.org -- [aaus-list] Upcoming Ukrainian events at Columbia

[Diana Howansky <dhh2@columbia.edu>]

THIS WEEK:

The March 2007 program of the Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia University 
will feature the film "Arsenal" (director Oleksander Dovzhenko, 1929).

WHEN: Thursday, March 22 at 7:30pm
WHERE: Room 503, Hamilton Hall, Columbia University, 1130 Amsterdam Ave.

This silent film, based on the events of the Bolshevik uprising in 
January 1918 in the capital of Ukraine Kyiv against the Ukrainian 
People’s Republic, was initially meant as apotheosis of the communist 
cause. Contrary to its deceptively unwavering pro-Bolshevik orientation, 
Dovzhenko’s picture outlines, in a subtly coded form, some of the 
dilemmas and conflicts that would rip the Soviet empire apart sixty 
years later.

The film (73 min.) will be shown, with English inter-titles. The program 
will be introduced by Yuri Shevchuk, director of the Ukrainian Film 
Club, and will be followed by a discussion.

-- who will discuss the status of media freedom in Ukraine and 
neighboring countries.

WHEN: Thursday, March 29 at 7:30pm
WHERE: Room 1512, International Affairs Building, Columbia University, 
420 W. 118th St.
