FIRST LOOK, followed by nothing stated beyond the film itself. The film follows young artist Oleksandr Dovzhenko, who arrives in Odesa in 1926 to make his first film as Ukrainian cinema begins to find its voice. Dreaming of cinema as an art form rather than a tool of propaganda, he comes into conflict with a system determined to control artistic expression. Based on the early career of one of Ukraine's most influential filmmakers, it tells of a young artist's struggle for creative freedom against the growing pressure of the Soviet regime.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/women-and-the-world-dovzhenko-first-look-103987/", "official_url": "https://riocinema.org.uk/Rio.dll/Booking?Booking=TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_436.TcsWebTab_437.TcsProgramme_3060694", "image": "https://noky.io/images/d98fadb447720689a18eb2dc2d1ccb18b2379979aa9dae23e45138f97e2b7d3b-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-08T17:00:00Z", "end": null, "place": "Rio Cinema", "address": "Kingsland High Street 107, E8 2PB London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "90th Anniversary Film Screening", "start": "2026-11-06T19:30:00Z", "end": null, "place": "Dorich House Museum", "address": "Kingston Vale 67, SW15 3RN London", "price": "", "price_from": "10.00", "price_to": "10.00", "category": "film", "tags": ["art/sculpture", "film/documentary"], "description": "A special screening of the film Dora Gordine: Ars Gratia Artis, marking 90 years since Dora Gordine and Richard Hare married and settled at Dorich House.
