ANDRIESH (1954)
Sergei Parajanov, Ukraine

The feature film debut from visionary director Sergei Parajanov now newly remastered by Kyiv’s Dovzhenko Centre, Andriesh follows the story of a young shepherd boy who comes into possession of an enchanted flute, which he must use to defeat the evil wizard known as the Black Whirlwind. An early glimpse of Parajanov’s gift for remarkable cinematic imagery, Andriesh is a magical cinematic folk tale and a classic of Ukrainian poetic cinema.

The screening will be introduced with a special concert from the Edinburgh Ukrainian Choir.
