Contemporary Movie/DVD in Ukrainian (or Russian) which is easily available in US?

[Maria Dmytriyeva]

Dear Pat,
there are not that many movies to talk about in the first place.
I could suggest two documentaries:

Orange Revolution 
http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Revolution-People-Ukraine/dp/B000YQ4BI2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1236922567&sr=8-1

The Orange Chronicles
http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Chronicles-Damian-Kolodiy/dp/B001FWY012/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1236922567&sr=8-2

I got them through the interlibrary load wehn we thought my husband could make presentations on the Orange Revolution here on campuses.

these DVDs are quite ok.  and they are in English.

there is, though, a rather recent movie -- Mamay.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384309/

desc from IMDB:

Mamay draws on traditional Ukranian and Tatar folktales for its Romeo and Juliet-like love story and parable about chivalry and the struggle for freedom. Hundreds of years ago, in the wild steppes of Crimea that form an uneasy border between East and West, Europe and Asia, nomad and farmer, the proud Cossack Mamay falls in love with the Tatar beauty Omai. The title, like the storyline, holds a variety of different meanings taken from different cultures. In Turkic languages, it means "no one," but it was also the name of a famous Mongol conqueror, the great grandson of Ghengis-Khan. In Persian legends, mamay literally means "the spirit of the steppes. " 

it is subtitled and I can burn a copy for you.
btw, I have some Ukrainian cartoons (the old ones, from the Soviet times) that I can also burn for you if you want. 

With best regards,
Maria  


> Dear Colleagues,
> Our Ukrainian Student Association on campus (DINAMO) wants to show a contemporary Ukrainian movie on campus - preferably in Ukrainian, preferably with subtitles. If they cannot find one, perhaps a Russian movie which takes place in Ukraine.
> 
> Does anyone have any suggestions? It is for a social evening, not historical or political.  The primary audience will be Ukrainian and/or Russian speaking graduate students, with some undergraduates.  Some members of the local Ukrainian community might come as well, if it is a popular movie.
> 
> Does anyone have any suggestions either of a movie, or how to access one?  
> Thanks for any help you might offer.
