Coming soon…

This winter, we will be launching a new video project, ’10 Things Everyone Should Know About Ukraine: short films’, supported by the Lysiak-Rudnytsky Ukrainian Studies Programme.

10 Things Everyone Should Know About Ukraine are short films that bring to life ten familiar and yet unknown stories including that of the serf who became an artist and a poet; a writer who rewrote European classics from a woman’s point of view, a theatre director who thought that revolutionary art could change the world, a count who chose to become a priest, an author who wrote more than 300 poems in his prison cell, and film directors who gave a voice the silenced.

They tell the stories of Ukraine as a battleground of murderous regimes fighting over the territory and its people, Ukraine as a melting pot of languages and cultures each influencing one another, Ukraine as a place where revolutions happen in order to bring about peace, Ukraine of many stories told in many voices.

10 Things Everyone Should Know About Ukraine is made in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute (Kyiv) and H.S. Pshenychnyi Central State Film, Photo and Sound Archive of Ukraine.
