This Year in Czernowitz

The film delves into the diverse heritage of Chernivtsi, a city once part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It highlights the coexistence of Ukrainians, Romanians, Germans, Poles, and Huzulians, with a significant Jewish population that once made up nearly half of the city's 150,000 inhabitants.

This Year in Czernowitz revisits the city through the lens of emigrants and their descendants, providing a personal perspective on its historical significance. The documentary offers insight into the cultural tapestry of the region and its transformation over the years. Harvey Keitel's presence in the top cast adds a notable aspect to the film, making it a point of interest for collectors of documentary cinema.
