Exploring Ukrainian Filmmaking: Ponrepo Cinema to Show “Arsenal” in Prague

This Tuesday, Prague’s Ponrepo cinema will be screening Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s critically acclaimed film Arsenal. The 58-minute-long film recalls an episode from the Russian Civil War and is part of a larger ongoing series that seeks to introduce Ukrainian cinematography and its evolution to Czech viewers. The screening will be accompanied by music performed by the up-and-coming Czech composer Ian Mikyska, who will be playing an electric guitar and the viola de gamba. Following the screening, leading Ukrainian academics will be present to share their thoughts on the history, culture, philosophy and traditions of Ukraine. Later films in the series include Koliyivshchyna, The Long Farewell, and Babylon XX. More details can be found on the Ponrepo website.
