Once a fixture in the kitchens of Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt, Naomi Uman has spent the last two decades becoming the doyenne of hand-crafted 16mm filmmaking. Tonight's selections transport you to Legedzine, an out-of-the-way Ukrainian hamlet where Uman has soaked in culture and routine for the past four years in an attempt to grasp the past— her great-grandparents arrived in 1906 USA from the far-flung region. The four portraits describe everything from learning Ukrainian to working at the brick factory, which continues to use the same local clay as back in the B.C. After the screening, Uman partakes in a back-and-forth with Nellie Killian.
