A Kingdom Reborn:  Treasures from Ukrainian Galicia (Canada/Ukraine, 2007,

US PREMIER

Screening with film director and producer Dani Stodilka and film writer
Peter Bejger.

Thursday, May 29,
7:00 pm ­ 8:30 pm
Cubberly Auditorium

This film brings to life one of the legendary cities and regions of Central
Europe.  Lviv is the capital city of the medieval principality Galicia,
whose architectural monuments and artistic treasures offer an exquisite
blending of the Byzantine and Latin aesthetic.  This documentary presents
interviews with museum curators, historians and icon painters who reveal
masterpieces that have miraculously survived repeated wars and disasters.

The CREEES Spring Film Festival presents:

Import/Export (dir. Ulrich Seidl, Austria, 2007)

Friday, May 30, 7pm
Cubberly Auditorium
Stanford University

Film introduced by Jessie Labov, Comparative Literature, Stanford.  Free

The film examines the fate of two individuals moving in opposite directions.
Olga, a nurse from Ukraine, abandons her family to look for a better life in
the West and ends up working as a cleaning woman in a geriatric ward in
Austria. Paul, an unemployed security guard from Vienna, is looking a reason
to get up in the mornings and heads East with his stepfather, ending up in
the Ukraine. They are two  young people on the move, eager to start a new
life, confronted with a rough reality.
