EUROMAIDAN. ROUGH CUT

 

23 February 2015

Ha-Teiva (Hatsrot Jaffo, TLV-Jaffo), starts at 8 pm

after screening - Q&A with one of the film directors 

Kateryna Gornostai (Ukraine) 

 

Millions of people worldwide already know the word ‘Euromaidan’ from mass media. Thousands from them try to find out what was exactly happened in Ukraine and who is responsible for more than one hundred people murdered. Hundreds of journalists already published reports showing drastically diverse standpoints, taking part in information warfare. But there were also dozens of filmmakers from different countries, who captured these historical events and risked their lives while filming under a hail of stones and gunshots, and in a burning tyres’ smoke. And we consider those cinema-flashes as the most valuable reflection of a revolution reality. 

 

The film was appeared spontaneously, without any general plan and beyond of any political dimensions. Ten young film directors were shooting their own cronicles of the revolution, before the team of International Film Festival Docudays UA asked them to present their best footages for the festival’s opening show. Episodes for the future films were finally developed into a stunning mosaic of Ukranian protests, a documentary which doesn’t require any comments. 

 

The Israeli premiere of the “Euromaidan. Rough cut” film is dedicated to the anniversary of the Ukrainian President Yanukovich’s escape and the end of mass protests in Kyiv. The film have been screened already at numerous films festivals, including one of the most prestigious documentary film forum IDFA (Amsterdam). The special guest from Ukraine, one of the film directors Kateryna Gornostai, will present the film in Tel Aviv. Q&A session will be held after the screening.

EUROMAIDAN. ROUGH CUT

 

Three months of revolution. From indignant protest to national unity. From pots on their heads to batons and body armour. From the euphoria of victory to the mourning of the fallen Heavenly Hundred. Revolution as an explosion of revived dignity, as the euphoria of freedom, as the pain of awareness at the cost, as the birth of the modern history of Ukraine.
