Sergej Paradzhanov’s “Wild Horses of Fire”Sergej Paradzhanov’s “Wild Horses of Fire” (Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors) is based on the classic book by Ukrainian writer Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky. The film was Parajanov’s first major work and earned him international acclaim for its rich use of costume and color. The film also features a detailed portrayal of Ukrainian Hutsul culture, showing not only the harsh Carpathian environment and brutal family rivalries, but also the various aspects of Hutsul traditions, music, costumes, and dialect. Harvard University has added to the list of 100 obligatory films for the film students.

“Earth”“Earth” Is a 1930 Soviet film by Ukrainian director Alexander Dovzhenko. It is Part 3 of Dovzhenko’s “Ukraine Trilogy” (along with Zvenigora and Arsenal). Despite (of because) of the film’s international success, also in Berlin and Venice, it was forbidden in Soviet Union due to wrong ideological sentiment. The film was voted one of the twelve greatest films of all time by a group of 117 film historians at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair and named one of the top ten greatest films of all time by the International Film Critics Symposium. The film will be screened with DakhaBrakha soundtrack.
