Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors ft. Jim

Our friend Jim comes on the pod to take us on a journey to Ukraine and it’s various cast of characters


Everyone’s favorite Ukrainian-Canadian diaspora chronicler Jim takes us to the Carpathians for an episode on peasants, poultices, and Parajanov. We discuss the director’s 1964 film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and what this classic of Soviet surrealism can tell us about the past.

Check out Jim’s podcast, The Past with Jim.

Hosted by Liam, Abram and Jim.
