We are pleased to have the Nadia Parfan and Illia Gladshtein with us on zoom on August 19, 2022 for a talk after the film.
For many years, Ivan Vasyliovych has been the trade union leader at Ivano-Frankivsk TeploKomunEnergo, a municipal heating company in western Ukraine. His magnum opus is the tradeunion choir for mechanics, repairmen, dispatchers, book-keepers and other employees. Is it possible to warm up customer’s cold radiators with the power of Ukrainian folk song?
The film program Ukraine mon Amour was created in cooperation with Nadia Parfan and TAKFLIX – as well as the previously shown film program Inside Ukraine (film evening 1, film evening 2, film evening 3, film evening 4).
Nadia Parfan is a filmmaker and co-founder of 86 Festival of Film and Urbanism and a member of TAKFLIX, the only streaming service for Ukrainian cinema.
Thanks to:
The creation of German subtitles for the Ukraine mon Amour film program was made possible by the Goethe-Institut as part of a significant package of measures for which the Federal Foreign Office is providing funds from the 2022 supplementary budget to mitigate the consequences of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.
