6th EASTERN UKRAINIAN FILM FESTIVAL
01 — 06 OCTOBER 2022

The film tells about one of the biggest crimes of the Soviet government – the destruction of a powerful art movement that arose in the 20s and 30s in Kharkiv. The most famous artists of Ukrainian culture – writers, poets, artists, directors – lived in the building named “Slovo”. The intelligentsia specially gathered in one place during the next few years were repressed, shot or turned into party singers.
