Subject: Odessa ... Odessa! Film screening tonight at 7 pm, Cubberly Aud

ODESSA ... ODESSA! (FILM SCREENING,  English subtitles)

DISCUSSION WITH FILMMAKER MICHALE BOGANIM

Introduction by Jessie Labov (Dept of Comparative Literature)

Thursday, February 28
7pm, Cubberly Auditorium
Light refreshments will be served.

"Odessa is one of those places with a mythical name, a legendary city  that
was once a centre of Yiddish culture, one of those places that you carry
inside you long before you go there." Michale Boganim, a  young
Franco-Israeli film-maker, follows the journeys of Odessa¹s  Jewish
community, exiled in Israel and the United States, and offers a  nostalgic
and touching triptych of three cities in three colours: blue  Odessa, with
the faded beauty of an old city; Little Odessa, a Russian enclave in
brick-coloured New York; and Ashdod, a glaringly white  mushroom town that
has sprung up in the Israeli desert. "Odessa...Odessa" ( France, 2005) has
been shown at numerous film festivals, including Sundance, Berlin, and
Jerusalem (where it won Best Director).

Biography:
A young film-maker trained at the National Film and Television
School in London, Michale Boganim now lives between France and Israel.
"Odessa... Odessa!" comes after several short documentaries, also on the
themes of memory and cities, which attracted attention at several
international festivals ("Venice," "Dust," "Mémoires incertaines," 2001
and "Macao sans retour," 2004).

This screening is the opening event of the CREEES film series "Looking for a
Bolshe Vita: European Films about Movement" which will take place over
Winter and Spring Quarters 2008

Co-sponsored by CREEES, the Stanford Ukrainian Studies Program, and the
Cultural Services of the Consulate General of France in San Francisco, > and
the Consulate General of Israel to the
Pacific Northwest.
