Sidste gang, vi afholdt borscht og bio, så vi dokumentarfilmen "20 Days In Mariupol". Det var meget stærke billeder fra krigens første dage. Men Ukraine er meget mere end krig og ødelæggelse. Det er et mangfoldigt og smukt land, rigt på kultur og historie. Det vil vi gerne vise med denne film, som viser en anden side af Ukraine fra en fredelig tid i start 00’erne: Everything Is Illuminated.
Alle er velkomne. Af hensyn til køkkenet må du gerne trykke “Deltager”.
Om filmen - Everything Is Illuminated (drama/komedie):
En ung jødisk-amerikansk mand forsøger i begyndelsen af 00’erne, med hjælp fra en excentrisk lokal, at finde den kvinde, der reddede hans bedstefar under Anden Verdenskrig i en ukrainsk landsby, som siden blev jævnet med jorden af nazisterne.
Filmen er baseret på bogen af samme navn skrevet af Jonathan Safran Foer og er en fiktion baseret på hans egen rejse til, hvor han gik på opdagelse i sine rødder i Ukraine.
Om Aarhus for Ukraine:
Aarhus for Ukraine er et partnerskab mellem KFUM og KFUK i Distrikt Aarhus og to lokale YMCA-foreninger i henholdsvis Lviv og Lutsk i det vestlige Ukraine. Partnerskabet handler om gensidig inspiration, relations-opbygning, udveksling samt at styrke de ukrainske YMCAs enten i form af økonomi, frivilliges kompetencer, uddannelse i demokratisk og transparent ledelse. Siden Ruslands invasion i 2022 har projektet også fokuseret på både nødhjælp og anden organisatorisk støtte.

Last time we hosted Borscht & Movie Night, we watched the documentary 20 Days in Mariupol - a powerful portrayal of the first days of the war. But Ukraine is much more than war and destruction. It is a diverse and beautiful country, rich in culture and history. With this film, we want to show another side of Ukraine — a peaceful time in the early 2000s, as portrayed in Everything Is Illuminated.
Everyone is welcome! For the sake of planning the food, please click “Going” if you intend to join.
About the movie - Everything Is Illuminated:
A young Jewish-American man sets out in the early 2000s, with the help of an eccentric local guide, to find the woman who saved his grandfather during World War II in a Ukrainian village later destroyed by the Nazis.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Jonathan Safran Foer and is a fictionalized version of his own journey exploring his family roots in Ukraine.
About Aarhus for Ukraine:
Aarhus for Ukraine is a partnership between KFUM og KFUK in District Aarhus and two local YMCA organizations in Lviv and Lutsk, western Ukraine.
