DESCRIPTION:Widely considered the most important film in the history of Ukr
 anian cinema\, Sergei Parajanov's Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors is a 
 masterwork that boldly combines folkloric pageantry\, fairy tale mysticism
 \, and frenetic\, hallucinatory cinematography.\n\nAdapted from Mykhailo K
 otsiubynsky's novel\, Shadows tells the story of Ivan (Ivan Mykolaichuk)\,
  a young Hutsul peasant who witnesses his father's murder by the local mis
 er. Years later\, Ivan falls in love with the miser's daughter\, Marichka 
 (Larisa Kadochnikova)\, but her shocking death leaves him wallowing in gri
 ef until he meets Palahna (Tatyana Bestayeva)\, a beautiful woman who seem
 s to restore his faith in life and hope for the future. When the ghost of 
 Marichka begins to haunt Ivan\, however\, Palahna is driven into the arms 
 of the local sorcerer (Spartak Bagashvili)\, with tragic results.\n\nShado
 ws is steeped in the earthy atmosphere of the Carpathian mountains\; filme
 d by Parajanov and cinematographer Yuri Ilyenko with an eye for constantly
  innovative camera movements and vivid color\; and suffused by Hutsul cult
 ure in the form of composer Myroslav Skoryk's collage-like score\, which b
 rings together Ukrainian folk melodies with modernist\, experimental orche
 stration. It is one of cinema's singular productions\, capturing the spiri
 tual majesty of the past by creatively forging the medium's future.\n\nThe
  film screens in 4K restoration by The Film Foundation's World Cinema Proj
 ect and Cineteca di Bologna at L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in collabor
 ation with the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Centre and in association with
  the Dovzhenko Film Studio. Special thanks to Daniel Bird and _ukasz Ceran
 ka. Funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation.\n\nPart of our
