TONIGHT:

The February 2006 event of the Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia
University will feature films made about Ukraine in other countries.
This is meant to be an invitation for the viewers to take a look at
Ukraine and Ukrainian heritage through the eyes of a Westerner. The
event will be the first installment of an on-going program entitled:

"Ukraine. A Cinematic View From the West."

The New York film-maker ANDREA ODEZYNSKA will present her two films and
engage the audience in a post-screening discussion.

The program includes: “The Whisperer,” 2005, (30 minutes) a documentary 
about little-known folk rituals of the Carpathian highlands that will
seriously test the viewer’s capacity to believe in the unbelievable.

“Dora Was Dysfunctional,” 1994, a hilarious story of a young American
caught in between two cultures - American and Ukrainian, and looking for
love in all the wrong places. This romantic comedy was short-listed at
the Academy Awards, the Hampton Film Festival and the Rotterdam Film
Festival. It has been screened on HBO and Showtime.

Both films are in English.

WHEN: February 16, 2006, Thursday, 7:30 PM

WHERE: 717 Hamilton Hall, Columbia University

OTHER EVENTS THIS MONTH:

Wallace Sayre Professor of Government at Columbia whose teaching and
research interests include comparative politics, theories of democratic

St.), starting at 12:00pm.

Situational: Revising the Civil War(s) in Post-imperial Russian South,
1918-1920.” This lecture will discuss recent developments in both
Russian and Ukrainian historiographies of this topic, which share
similar features but are almost unknown to one another. Mr. Gyidel will
also report on his findings at the Bakhmetteff Archive (Columbia Univ.)
on the history of the White movement in Ukraine. The lecture will take
place in Room 1219 (12th floor) of the International Affairs Building at
