written by Peter Bejger, directed and produced by Dani Stodilka
Presented by Prof. Frank Sysyn (Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies)
Sponsored by the Petro Jacyk Program for the Study of Ukraine.

The documentary film brings to life one of the legendary cities and regions of Central Europe. Lviv is the capital city of the medieval principality Galicia, whose architecture and treasures offer an exquisite blending of the Byzantine and Latin aesthetic. Long subject to historic narratives imposed by foreign rulers, the Ukrainians of Galicia — museum curators, historians and icon painters — now tell their own history of Galicia through their artistic heritage.

The film will be followed by Q&A session moderated by Prof. Frank Sysyn.
