The Doc Salon joins the European Union Film Festival's screening of Flowers of Ukraine, with the director Adelina Borets and producer Glib Lukianets in attendance.
Flowers is about Natalia, a 67-year old anarchist with a sharp sense of humor and a determination to defend her beloved plot of land from developers in Kyiv. Her fight to save her mini-farm of goats, chickens and vegetables from the forces of gentrification is intensified when Russian invasion arrives.
Speaking of chickens... Flowers of Ukraine (70 min.) is preceded by the short Feathers or Glamour (30 min). When the global trend of raising backyard chickens reached Talinn, it brought out some egg-centric behavior among its urban "farmers".
The EU Film Festival runs Jan 17 to 23, mostly at the Harris Theater, and also features new fiction and nonfiction cinema from Malta, Germany, France, Netherlands, Denmark, and Spain.
