FILMFEST MÜNCHEN: ЗЕМЛЯ / ZEMLYA

Together with the Munich film magazine REVÜ, FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is organizing an evening in the Werkraum of the Kammerspiele that sheds historical light on the relationship between Ukraine and Russia, especially in the area of agriculture.
Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s 1930 silent film ERDE uses virtuoso cinematographic techniques to address the topic of agriculture and its Soviet collectivization in Ukraine in the late 1920s. The new version was elaborately restored in 2012 with Ukrainian intertitles and a new soundtrack. Before the screening, there will be a performance by the Ukrainian a cappella choir GRUNT, who will sing old folk songs from various regions of the country. Interwoven with read reports from the 1930s and 2022, patterns of power and domination of Soviet and Russian imperialism will be revealed.
