New documentary ‘Fragile Memory’ airs 

ByJDCteam

A new documentary ‘Fragile Memory’ has been made by filmmaker Ihor Ivanko as a tribute to his grandfather, prolific Ukrainian cinematographer Leonid Burlaka, who is now in his 80’s and living with Alzheimer’s. 

The documentary unravels previously unseen and undeveloped films made by Leonid during his career, and sees Ihor working against time to bring these to life as Leonid’s memory fades. 

You can view the trailer here:
