Come talk in person

with Ukrainian filmmaker Iryna Tsilyk at a screening of her new film!

Iryna Tsilyk is a prominent Ukrainian director and poet whose awards include the Documentary Directing Award at Sundance (2020)

Based on Artem Chekh’s autobiographical novel Who Are You?, this new Ukrainian drama is an encounter in a provincial town between Tymofiy (a Ukrainian boy) and Felix, a charismatic veteran of the Afghan War, broken by PTSD. A difficult portrait of the generational difficulties between children and adults in the Ukrainian 1990s, this film is a coming-of-age story about the first lessons of kindness and cruelty.
