INSTITUT 014 |film | BANNED UA POETIC CINEMA | White Bird with a Black Mark
About this Event
Mountains divide a family. War divides four brothers. One of the defining works of Ukrainian Poetic Cinema returns to the screen, where folklore, history, and personal tragedy become inseparable.
Vol 14: White Bird with a Black Mark (Yuri Illienko, 1971), curated by Pylyp Ilienko, is the third film in our series of banned Ukrainian Poetic Cinema—a visually arresting meditation on identity, loyalty, and historical trauma.
This is the heart of VOLUME 14 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave — around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...
Come early for an open folk session with KRYVA KOSA at 5PM. Stick around — White Bird with a Black Markscreens at 7PM, Tarek Funk performs a live score to Lawrence of Arabia at 9PM alongside a live painting by Ivanna Lunazul. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
