SUMMARY:Screens of Defiance Ukrainian Film Series - Mavka: The Forest Song
DESCRIPTION:\nDirected by Oleh Malamuzh and Oleksandra Ruban\, Mavka: Th
e Forest Song (2023) is a stunning computer-animated fantasy filled with
lively music\, bright colors\, and pure magic. Loosely based on Lesia U
krainka’s 1911 poetic play\, The Forest Song\, the film follows the stor
y of a forest spirit\, Mavka\, who must choose between love and duty to
protect the Heart of the Forest from\n\nrapacious intruders led by Kylyn
a\, a steampunk-esque woman from the city. Mavka is one of the biggest p
roductions ever to come out of the Ukrainian film industry\, and it has
been a huge hit among Ukrainians. While geared mostly toward young audie
nces\, the film also offers subtle commentaries on current events in Ukr
aine. An allegory on Russia’s attack on Ukraine embedded in Mavka’s stor
y of courage and resilience is hard to miss. The film is dubbed in Engli
sh.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/screens-of-defi
