DAY OF THE MINER IN MYRNOHRAD (2022)
2 mins, HD video (no sound)
A short film by Yarema Malashchuk and Vicki Thornton. One continuous shot shows people celebrating the ‘Day of the Miner’ public holiday (the last Sunday in August) in Myrnohrad, Donetsk. It was last celebrated peacefully at the end of summer 2021.
The work was filmed during one of several filming trips to the Donbas region between 2018 and 2021 as part of the production for the longer feature-length documentary film NOSTALGIA by Vicki Thornton.
It was exhibited as part of 'Preparing Passages: Before and After The Independence Day', a group show at Charim Schleifmühlgasse, Vienna in April 2022.
