SVETAYEVOY I MAYAKOVSʹKOHO. EPIZOD 1

TSVETAYEVOY AND MAYAKOVSKOGO (STREETS). EPISODE 1

Polina Moshenska, Maryna Liapina

Ukraine, 2014, 7 Min

A street corner in a Kiev residential area. Even in places where seemingly nothing of interest occurs there's plenty to see if you take a closer look. A camera fixed behind a wall, capturing both statically and stoically the comings and goings. Every now and then a ball comes into view, a woman waits, a child cycles by; when all is said and done the sober normality of everyday life remains.

The Festival of Film and Urbanism, based in the Ukrainian city of Slavutych, the city purposely built for the evacuated personnel of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, recently came up with a compe-tition entitled “My Street Films Ukraine”, which called on everyone across the Ukraine to pick up a camera and, under expert supervision, film a local-interest story. The festival then screened thir-teen of these works, which reflect on contemporary urban life in six Ukrainian cities; Berezhany, Kiev, Kherson, Kramatorsk, Novoyavorivsk and Simferopol. Though the approach of the individual works may differ, ranging as it does from self-shot footage to conceptual art, the focus of all the featured films remains unmistakably true to immediate reality.
