Maryna Vroda to Present Her Cannes Winning Film in NYC

 

On October 15, 2011 on the initiative of the KinoFest NYC the Ukrainian Institute of America will host the US premier of Maryna Vroda's feature short "Cross," this year's winner of the Palm d'or du court metrage at the Cannes IFF with the film director herself in attendance. Initially our Club with the support of Ms. Vroda planned to open its new season on September 22 by screening this most recent Ukrainian winner of the prestigious prize. Once the possibility of hosting Ms. Vroda in New York materialized thanks to the sponsorship of the Aerosvit Airlines, we were invited to co-sponsor the event. The event is meant to be both a celebration of this wonderful achievement of Ukrainian national film on the international arena and a tribute to Maryna Vroda's talent in the form of a retrospective of her small but nevertheless very interesting body of work, the shorts "Oath" and "Rain," followed by a Q-and-A. The evening will take place at the Ukrainian Institute of America, 2 East 79th Street, New York, NY, on Saturday, October 15, 2011, at 8:00 PM.
