Dr. Yuri Shevchuk of Columbia University will discuss how Ukrainian cinema reflects the challenges Ukraine has faced over the last decade as it seeks to consolidate its cultural and political independence.

The lecture will be followed by a screening of Firecrosser (Mykhailo Illyenko, 2012), the tale of a war hero who is released from a Nazi prison camp, branded a traitor, sentenced to the Gulag, and eventually becomes the leader of an Indian tribe in Canada (110 mins., video).

Co-sponsored by the Department of History of Art, the Department of Slavic & East European Languages & Cultures, the Center for Slavic and East European Studies, the OSU Film Studies Program, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and the Ukrainian Cultural Association of Central Ohio.

Admission is Free
