Film: Semlja (Terre / Erde) (1930)
Alexander Dowschenko réalisation, scénario
Alexander Popov musique

In 1930, the Ukrainian film director Alexander Dovshenko created the silent movie Semlya (Earth), in which he poured his people’s love of their homeland into passionate and poetic images. A milestone of Soviet cinema and a timelessly moving document, the film portrays the conflict between Communist youth in a small Ukrainian village and the tradition of the large landowners. The Russian composer Alexander Popov wrote a new score for this classic film in 1997; it will have its European premiere as part of the rainy days festival in Luxembourg on Nov. 20.
