Cinema: Pamfir
A powerful crime drama by Ukrainian director Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk
The Ukrainian Film Club in Amsterdam, together with Splendor musician and pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi, presents a series of Ukrainian films at Splendor.
On January 25, they will present a screening of Pamfir, the powerful crime drama by Ukrainian director Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk.
When reformed ex-smuggler Pamfir returns his home-village on the Ukrainian border after working abroad for several years, he’s determined to earn an honest living and set a good example for his beloved teenage son Nazar. But in a town where corruption runs deep and crime and religion are inextricably linked, his plan is quickly thwarted when Nazar sets fire to the local church in a misguided effort to keep him at home. To pay for the damage, Pamfir must take on one last job for a crime syndicate operating a risky smuggling venture in a place where all the rules have changed.
