Tommorrow: Columbia Ukr. Film Club screens Palme d'or winner

[Diana Howansky]

TOMORROW . . .

The Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia University
will open its second season by screening, among others,

the winner of the Palme d’or for short films at the
2005 Cannes International Film Festival

WAYFARES
(director Ihor Strembitsky, 2005)

Shot on the budget of less than $3,000, on pieces of defective black and 
white film stock, Wayfarers, the first ever Ukrainian picture to win 
this most coveted and prestigious international award, is a source of 
inspiration for every young ambitious filmmaker, and the most recent 
proof that talent, originality and perseverance are still key to 
artistic success and international recognition.

This event will also feature «Consonance», (2005, director Viktoria 
Melnykova), a look at Ukrainian choral singing, its origins, metaphysics 
and spiritual significance.

In his introduction before the films, Yuri Shevchuk, the Film Club's 
director, will offer an overview of developments in Ukrainian cinema 
over the last five months. This event will introduce a new rubric – a 
Cinematographic Surprise from Ukraine. True to tradition, the screening 
will be followed by a Q&A period and discussion.

When:    September 22, 2005, Thursday, 7:30 PM
Where:   717 Hamilton Hall, Columbia University,
    	 1130 Amsterdam Ave., New York, NY (subway train #1 to 116th St.)

All films will be shown free of charge in their original Ukrainian 
language version with English subtitles.
