Zemlja dakhabrakha c olga zakrevska1

Kakaja Zemlja

Jan Willem van Dam / NL, 1992 / 19 min.

The Ukrainian ‘ethnic chaos’ quartet DakhaBrakha plays a mesmerizing soundtrack to Aleksandr Dovzhenko’s legendary silent film Zemlja (Earth). This classic 1930 film by one of the most prominent filmmakers from the early Soviet era pays tribute to Soviet rural life but at the same time critically examines collectivisation and the wretched state of contemporary agriculture.
