My
Mother's Village Canada 2001 (100 mins.) Directed by John Paskievich Contact: Jo Anne
Walton (j.a.walton@nfb.ca) |
|
With
countless people fleeing their homelands to seek a better life, exile has become one of
the most common experiences of the last century. In My Mother's Village, John Paskievich
delves into the effects of exile and memory on the human spirit, using his own
experiences as a child of refugees as a starting point. Almost 50 years after
Paskievich's family left Ukraine to find freedom in Canada, the Winnipeg filmmaker
attempts to reconcile his lifelong feeling of being caught between two cultures. He
brings to light the humour, anger, joy and complexity of living between borders --
obliged on the one hand to preserve the memories and traditions of his parents, and
needing on the other hand to establish his own roots in a new country. |

Bring Me the Head of Georgiy Gongadze USA 2002 (60 mins, work in progress)
Directed by Susie
Davis Contact: Susie Davis (susie_252001@yahoo.com) |
|
Ukraine,
celebrating its tenth year of independence, explodes into turmoil after a young
journalist is found decapitated in the woods. This documentary is the true story of how
one man's sacrifices unite a fractured nation and compel the population to examine the
true meaning of the word "freedom." Should we expect a new democracy to offer its
citizens rights and privileges such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press? These
were privileges that Ukraine's president, Leonid Kuchma, promised the country when he
came to power in 1994. Since then, several more Ukrainian journalists and independent
media outlets have been harrassed, and Kuchma has suggested that freedom of speech does
not mean the freedom to criticize him. Director Susie Davis will be present at the
screening. |
