Every nation has its own art. Some form of creativity fed by traditions, folklore, cultural and historical heritage, as well as social and ethnic characteristics. Korean cinema is different from Thai or Mexican cinema. We would never mistake Almodovar's work for that of Iñarritu or Wong Kar-Wai. Nevertheless, modern cinema is a train on the railroad of globalization, and Hollywood is its finest car. It destroys individuality for the sake of the mass consumer. That’s not meant to be an insult, it’s just the way the market works. And yet, this approach is failing. In recent years, films that were shot thousands of miles from the dream factory have been garnering more and more attention, even at the Oscars. Today, I’m going to tell you about the original cinema of my homeland. A cinematic tradition whose very right to exist was stripped away. Filmmaking that was drowned in censorship. Cinema that has resisted, and unfortunately continues to resist the whims of dictators. Today we’re going to be discussing films that were made in Ukraine.
