PCUH Screens Film, Invites Producer/Director Dani Stodilka to STM
March 27, 2009 | 7:00 pm | Fr. O’Donnell Auditorium, STM (U of S Campus, Saskatoon)

March 2, 2009 -- On March 27, the PCUH will present the film “A Kingdom Reborn: Treasures from Ukrainian Galicia” produced and directed by noted Toronto documentary filmmaker Dani Stodilka. The English-language film offers, within a historical context, glimpses of Galicia – current day western Ukraine -- and the ancient city of Lviv, whose architectural monuments and artistic treasures offer an exquisite blending of the Byzantine and Latin aesthetic. The film showcases both Lviv and the region as constantly shifting arenas where diverse and complex identities evolved. Highlighting the stunning visual legacy that is Ukrainian, the film also reflects the brilliant Armenian, Jewish, Austrian and Polish contributions to the artistic and architectural heritage of Galicia.

As part of the Ukrainian Artists Invitational Program, the producer/director of the film Dani Stodilka will be in attendance at the screening of film. The Ukrainian Artists Invitational is a community outreach program of the PCUH. The program provides an opportunity for invited artists to share their most recent work by way of public presentation, performance or workshop. Past artists who have been invited include John Paskevich (filmmaker), Luba Goy (actress and comedian), and Julian Kytasty (musician). The objective of the Ukrainian Artists Invitational Program is to help promote a wider appreciation of the Ukrainian arts scene while raising scholarship funds at these events.

Admission is free to this event although donations will be accepted in support of scholarships for the STM Study Abroad in Ukraine Program – Spring Session in Ukraine.
