Over the last few months the collection of the UFCCU has expanded to include the first Ukrainian post-Soviet narrative feature for children, "An Awesome Tale," by Roman Shyrman; the much anticipated drama, "Birds of Paradise," by Roman Balayan, produced in Ukrainian and Russian language versions; a short detective feature, "The Dummy," by Kira Muratova; a charming short documentary, "Fiesta," by Anna Yarovenko celebrating Ukrainian folk art and its discovery and re-invention over the last years by urban youth; a risqué short feature, "Fireflies," by Nadia Koshman, a "love story" of a village girl and a city boy both about 8 years old; an erotic and - by some accounts - scandalous drama, "Sappho," by Robert Crombie, "Las Meninas," the directorial debut of Ihor Podolchak, an internationally recognized artist based in Kyiv; "Kolky," dir. Natasha Mikhalchuk. |
