Introduction: Prof. Dr. Irina Wutsdorff (Institute for Slavic Studies)

This documentary film is dedicated to the renowned artist Kazymyr Malevyč and his influence on 20th-century art, with a focus on Malevyč's Ukrainian origins and the influence of Ukrainian culture on his work and personality. A screenplay for a Suprematist film written by the artist in 1930 is shown on screen, along with little-known archive footage of him, photos of his paintings with computer-generated additions, memories of relatives and numerous art historians, gallery owners and architects from Ukraine, Poland, the Netherlands, Belarus and France.
