DOVZHENKO. THE FIRST LOOK
“Dovzhenko. The First Look” is the first feature biopic about Oleksandr Dovzhenko, the artist who laid the foundation of Ukrainian cinema. The world premiere took place to a sold-out audience at the 29th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF).
The film tells the story of Dovzhenko’s struggle for creative freedom in Odesa in 1926 and offers a contemporary perspective on a figure of defining importance to Ukrainian culture.
