An Evening with the TABOR Collective
Screening & Discussion | Kino Nights Series
Commemorating four years since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kino Nights presents a screening and discussion featuring recent work from TABOR Collective, a Kyiv-based independent production company founded by engaged Ukrainian filmmakers and artists. TABOR’s films examine war, displacement, migration, and the fragile imaginaries of resilience that emerge in times of upheaval.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with filmmakers Alina Gorlova, Yelizaveta Smith, and Simon Mozghovyi, facilitated by Luiza Parvu and Toma Peiu (Melikian Center affiliates and faculty at the Sidney Poitier New American Film School at ASU). Together, they will explore how cinema confronts exile, cultural rupture, memory, and the search for home.
This event is part of the 2025–2026 Kino Nights: Coming Together, Coming Apart series, which highlights contemporary films from Eurasia and Eastern Europe exploring migration, displacement, and belonging. The program invites us to reflect: What does it mean to leave home? To rebuild? To remain connected across distance and war?
This event is organized in collaboration with The Sidney Poitier New American Film School at Arizona State University.
