NICHYYA ZEMLYA

TERRA NULLIS

Ukraine, 2014, 13 Min

Crimean life in and around Simferopol. In the nineties the Crimean Tatars, deported in 1944, slowly returned home. Many of them settled and constructed homes without planning permission. Here they discuss the forced demolition of their homes, as carried out by the then Ukrainian government. Snapshots of contemporary history now outpaced by Russia's annexation of Crimea.

The Festival of Film and Urbanism, based in the Ukrainian city of Slavutych, the city purposely built for the evacuated personnel of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, recently came up with a compe-tition entitled “My Street Films Ukraine”, which called on everyone across the Ukraine to pick up a camera and, under expert supervision, film a local-interest story. The festival then screened thir-teen of these works, which reflect on contemporary urban life in six Ukrainian cities; Berezhany, Kiev, Kherson, Kramatorsk, Novoyavorivsk and Simferopol. Though the approach of the individual works may differ, ranging as it does from self-shot footage to conceptual art, the focus of all the featured films remains unmistakably true to immediate reality.
