CINECITY

Earth (Zemlya) (Dir: Oleksandr Dovzhenko) with live score by Roksana Smirnova & Misha Kalinin

A mesmerising and beautiful hymn to nature, Earth (Zemlya) is recognised as one of cinema’s supreme visual masterpieces. It is a uniquely poetic cinema of the countryside, a paean to nature and those that toil the fertile earth of director Dovzhenko’s beloved Ukraine.

Incredibly, the film began as a propaganda assignment about the collectivisation of agriculture - the young people of the village welcome their first tractor, while the rich farmers plot to murder the peasants’ leader - which Dovzhenko transformed into a stunning work of cine poetry, a meditation on nature’s cycle of life and death.

Ukrainian musicians Misha Kalinin (electric guitar) and Roksana Smirnova (piano) perform a new, jazz-based score — impressionistic soundscapes and atmospheric improvisations adding new dimensions to Dovzhenko’s iconic close-ups and vast, sweeping landscapes.
