This poetic documentary combines personal, experimental and non-fiction approaches to capturing life in the Ukrainian town of Uman. Director Uman immerses herself in the role of an experimental filmmaker, drawing upon personal experience, living with her subjects for a long time to become integrated into a family or community. For these collected films, distinct yet interwoven with intimacy, she returned to the tiny village that her family fled a hundred years ago. Her camera invokes the place and her relationship to it through the focus of time, its passage, and patterns of repetition in history. Full of the cinematic richness that can only be captured on film, Uman’s gaze lingers affectionately on things quite beautifully ordinary. Uman’s film will be presented in all of it’s grainy sixteen millimeter glory..
