Summary
Show Notes : This week, Cameron returns to the beginning of Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s Ukrainian Trilogy with “Zvenihora.” The film, released in 1928, explores a thousand years of Ukrainian history — spanning from Varangian invasion to the rise of the Soviet Union. The film is a fascinating take on Soviet film, mashing together Ukrainian culture and the new, Soviet reality. You may have noticed this episode is two hours long….so, I decided to look into why I was finding inconsistent information on Dovzhenko’s life in the episode on “Earth.” Turns out, there’s a good reason for that. Oh, boy, do we get into that in this episode. Oleksandr Dovzhenko’s 1939 autobiography My notes on George Liber’s Alexander Dovzhenko: A Life in Soviet Film The music used in this episode was “Старое Кино / Staroye Kino,” by Перемотка / Peremotka.
