DESCRIPTION:In our ongoing collaboration with our fave non-profit Humanity Now, 
 benefiting international war refugees, here's a program of mostly docs on 
 Ukraine and Russia. Featured is the new and utterly astonishing TraumaZone 
 (Ep.7) by UK comp-doc master Adam Curtis! The last of his 7 hours on the 
 “Fall of Democracy” in Russia contextualizes Putin's rise and posits 
 Ukraine as a casualty of the Old Empire's political and economic implosion. 
 The first hour of our program is constituted by hefty excerpts from a pair 
 of provocative histories of the past decade of Ukrainian upheaval: Eugeny 
 Afineevsky's Winter on Fire and Oliver Stone's (!) Ukraine on Fire, the 
 latter offering a little-seen perspective on Ukrainian antisemitism and 
 that nationalism for which the Kremlin reserves the word “Nazism”. 
 Comparing Stone's lighting-fast editing style to the decidedly elliptical 
 leaps of Curtis proves a special treat, especially with our added exemplar 
 of Dziga Vertov, whose Enthusiasm pops up. AND the downright jaw dropping 
 Playing Apocalypse, by UCB grad Aleksandra Simonova (in person), which 
 parlays her documentation of Odessa's historical role-players in scary Cold 
 War tunnels into a larger allegory on dystopian subcultures in the 
 beleaguered country. *$8-$100\n
