The Guide - Ottawa Trailer - (2016 Capital Ukrainian Festival)

July 21, 2016 (8:30 PM) - THE GUIDE
Directed by Oles Sanin, 2014 [Ukr with Eng Subtitiles]
Ukraine’s 2014 Academy Award entry for Best Foreign Language Film, “The Guide”. Peter Shamrock is a ten-year-old boy living in the midst of turbulent Soviet Ukraine in the 1930s. His father, an American engineer, is killed for obtaining secret documents about the repressions, which are now hidden in Peter's book. The boy flees from the police with a blind kobzar (Ukrainian folk minstrel), Ivan Kocherga, who helps him survive by sharing elaborate stories that make him believe there can be a different reality from what he sees around him. We are challenged to admit the blind kobzar may see the world with greater clarity than those with perfect eyes.
