The German Federal Archives have decided to support Ukraine by identifying, digitizing and making accessible Ukrainian films in its collection of over 250,000 works. In a unique project involving Ukrainian film scholars and archivists such as Ivan Kozlenko (Amherst College), Stas Menzelevskyi (Indiana University) and Peter Bagrov (George Eastman Museum), a list of films with a Ukrainian connection has been compiled from the archive. Some of these films have not been preserved in Ukraine or Russia and only exist as contemporary copies on sensitive cellulosenitrate.

The silent film “Pozdorovljaju z perechodom” will be accompanied live by Mykyta Sierov and Daan van den Hurk. This will be followed by a discussion with Adelheid Heftberger (Bundesarchiv, invited) and Anna Onufrienko (Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Center, invited), in which the project and the importance of archiving cultural assets will be discussed.

Two films will be shown to illustrate the project.
