Docudays UA’s final screening at ART-PICNIC

06 September 2013

The closing screening of Docudays UA at the festival Slava Frolova’s ART-PICNIC will be held today, September 6, at 8:30 pm in 8th pavilion of VDNH complex (Vystavkovyi Tsentr metro station). Entrance is free!

 

The series of four nights of documentaries at Slava Frolova’s ART-PICNIC, which began on August 16, will conclude tonight with a feature-length Canadian film “The Bastard Sings the Sweetest Song” (director Christy Garland, Canada, 2012, 71’). The film was a participant of this year’s DOCU/LIFE competition program.

 

Paul ‘Muscle’ is very busy. He has his eye fixed firmly on the middle class, hoping to pull his family up with him. His birds need constant attending, as he ekes out a living raising fighting cocks and songbirds. And he’s trying, not very successfully, to get his mother Mary off the booze. At 75, Mary’s hurt herself on her frequent sojourns out on the road, searching for drink. She drinks to forget and to drown out the night, which she has good reason to dread. She still recites some of her moving poems by heart, to her family who listen with love and admiration. But her determination to thwart Muscle, and his flawed attempts to control her drinking, has led her son to take more drastic action.
