The Gateway by Volodymyr Tykhy,
2017, 107 Min., with English subtitles
A surrealistic drama-comedy about Chernobyl, grandma Prisja, her daughter Slava and grandson Vovtshyk who have to master their life and everyday life in a godforsaken Chernobyl Exclusion Zone where there are only wild animals, rusalkas and stalkers. A world where people really know what happened in 1986 and why the situation in Ukraine is the way it is. At least Prisja – the over 80-year-old knows it.
Das Filmprogramm Ukraine mon Amour entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit Nadia Parfan und TAKFLIX – wie auch das bereits früher gezeigte Film Programm Inside Ukraine (Filmabend 1, Filmabend 2, Filmabend 3, Filmabend 4).
Nadia Parfan ist Filmemacherin und Mitbegründerin des 86 Festival of Film and Urbanism sowie Mitglied von TAKFLIX, dem einzigen Streaming-Dienst für das ukrainische Kino.
