ADVISORY: Free Friday Film Screening: "Rule of Two Walls" as part of An Enduring Spirit: Ukrainian Voices Through Art and Film

Hi Everyone,

WHAT: Join Museum of International Folk Art for a special screening of David Gutnik’s Rule of Two Walls (2023), the second installment in our five-part Friday film series, An Enduring Spirit: Ukrainian Voices Through Art and Film , presented in collaboration with Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA). Arrive early for complimentary viewing of the Amidst Cries from the Rubble: Art of Loss and Resilience from Ukraine exhibition.

WHO: Film Synopsis | This raw and atmospheric portrait documents the lives of artists who remain in Ukraine. Their creative practices, whether in visual art, music, or performance, become acts of survival and defiance, offering a glimmer of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.

WHEN: Friday November 8, 2024 | 6:00 PM

WHERE: Museum of International Folk Art, 706 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, New Mexico | Joan and Clifford Vernick Auditorium.

WHY: Director’s Statement | “Everyone in my family is from Ukraine. In April 2022, a little over a month into the full-scale invasion, I got a one-way ticket to Warsaw with the intention of entering Ukraine by bus. In Warsaw, I interviewed Ukrainians displaced by the war, thinking I would make a documentary about Ukrainians who, like my family, left. But by the time I crossed the border into Ukraine, it was clear to me that I was going to make a film about Ukrainians who stayed.
