Ukrainian Time Machine
Ukrajinský stroj času, Ukraine, 2008, 55 min, 16 mm, Creative, Personal View
Hoping to experience what it is like to be an immigrant, the filmmaker sets off on a reverse journey that her great grandparents made in 1906. In 2006 Naomi Uman came to Ukraine, knowing no one, not speaking the language, and began a life in a small village where people still live as if it were 100 years ago.
