How do you keep a disappearing language, ancient traditions, and craftsmanship alive under Soviet repression, globalization and war?
Join us for an exclusive screening of As Vasilevun, Rumei! The story of Azov Greeks documentary, the first and only film in the endangered Rumei language. Shot in the summer of 2021, just months before Russia’s full-scale invasion, this documentary offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Azov Greeks, an ethnic Greek community in eastern Ukraine fighting to preserve their identity against the tides of history.
