Please join the Ukrainian Film Club at Columbia University for a screening and discussion of “In Spring,” 1929 by director Mikhail Kaufman. This film is part of the series Unknown Ukrainian Silent Cinema. Yuri Shevchuk will introduce the film and moderate the discussion.
This outstanding example of the Ukrainian silent cinema avant-garde captures the spirit and poetry of Kyiv in the late 1920s. Kaufman’s response to his brother’s (Dzyga Vertov) celebrated “Man with a Movie Camera,” this rarely seen document of the epoch was shot in the middle of the Soviet Union’s transition from revolutionary enthusiasm to Stalinist totalitarianism.
With English subtitles.
