Making lists is an activity moviegoers are fond of. Every year, the same ritual: compilation of the ten best films, with comparative analyses, debates, heated discussions. But what about the ultimate list of the most outstanding films in the history of cinema? That is to say, those films that must be seen, those that have forever transformed the art of cinema, but also our way of seeing a culture, of understanding the world as well as our own lives? This program aims to tackle this challenge with nearly eighty films, produced between 1916 and 1960, while waiting for your lists!
At the piano : Roman Zavada
In a Ukrainian village, the collectivization of land creates tensions. The young and zealous secretary of the kolkhoz is shot by a kulak, leaving his fiancée in despair.
Alexandre Dovjenko
Alexander Petrovytch Dovzhenko (Viounychtche, Sosnytsia district, Chernigov government, Ukraine, September 10, 1894 - Moscow, November 25, 19561) was a Ukrainian filmmaker. His best-known films are Arsenal and La Terre, which together with Zvenigora (1928) form his “Ukrainian trilogy”. It is in this capacity that some historians consider him one of the founders of Ukrainian cinema.
