"Slovo" House: Unfinished Novel (Director: Taras Tomenko) (Starring: Dmytro Oliynyk, Viacheslav Dovzhenko & Nina Naboka)
1927. Soviet Ukraine. The most outstanding Ukrainian writers live in comfortable apartments. All of them become participants in an experiment aimed at deriving a new type of Soviet writer with total control over the creative process. Based on real event this is a story of the “executed renaissance” of Ukrainian art and literature in the 1920’s, an introspection on the eternal theme of the relationship between authority and power and the determination of a people to survive.

Post-screening discussions with the Kyiv-based Filmmakers who will be taking the treacherous journey from the countries to which they have been displaced to join us for the discussion.
Also joining will be Ambassadors from Ukraine and other countries in a similar plight who have historically never been afforded the same level of compassion as Ukraine has quite rightly received.
