Opening Night: “Donbass” — In
Ukrainian and Russian with English
subtitles. With Tamara Yatsenko, Liudmila
Smorodina, Olesya Zhurakovskaya,
Boris Kamorzin, Sergei Russkin,
Petro Panchuk. In the Donbass region
of Ukraine, a territory bordering Russia
to the east, war has been festering
and raging since 2014. Following
the events of Euromaidan and the
Ukrainian revolution, pro-Russian separatists
have clashed with Ukrainian
nationalists, which has involved a
maelstrom of armed confl ict, domestic
terror, bureaucratic retribution and
propaganda. Based on actual events,
and comprised of loosely connected
vignettes. Few works of scripted fi ction
have ever been this of-the-moment, and
few fi lms have ever been this singularly,
extraordinarily, unshakable.
