'The Helm of Destiny": a film in the making

To make any film takes much time, effort, talent and money. To make a documentary film on the Ukrainian experience in the United States, from the first immigrants to the present, is a monumental task. The UNA decided such a film is needed, and committed itself to financing it. The actual task of putting the whole project together fell to Director/ Producer Slavko Nowytski and his company, Filmart Productions, Inc. It was decided that the film would be told mainly by Americans of Ukrainian descent who would tell that segment of the story which they themselves ex­ perienced. A narrator would fill in other information, especially of the early periods of Ukrainian immigration, to which no witnesses are alive today. The film does not duplicate any of the excellent written material on the sub­ ject, since it is primarily a visual medium, and speaks directly to the emotions. Research led to the discovery of rare photographs and old motion picture film. Other archival materials used were drawings, etchings, paintings and maps. The English-language film (Ukrainian version may follow), will tell the story of Ukrainians — who they are, where they came from, why they came to America, Filmart productions crew shooting the Svoboda press for the UNA Dim, "The Helm of Destiny."
