We are screening this classic of world cinema to fundraise for the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis. Very rarely screened, this is a beautiful, poetic film. Please come out and support us!

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is considered to be the most internationally heralded Ukrainian film in history and a classic of Ukrainian magical realist cinema.

All ticket proceeds will be used to support Dovzhenko Center as well as frontline Ukrainian medics.

Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors is set in Western Ukraine (Carpathian mountains) circa the 1860s. It was banned in the USSR because it emphasized the unique Ukrainian culture and the fact that the language in the film was Ukrainian and not Russian. References to the Church and religion was also deemed objectionable by Soviet authorities.

Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors is a Romeo and Juliet story: Ivan (Ivan Mikolaichuk) is madly in love with his childhood sweetheart, Marichka (Larisa Kadochnikova). The two, who are also neighbours, have formed an inseparable bond over the years, despite the rift that divides their families: her father murdered his father. Ivan intends to marry his beloved, but is forced to leave town in order to earn a suitable dowry. Once he departs, he endures a series of hurdles and tragedies.

Movie will be screened in Ukrainian with English subtittles.
