by Maria Dzhovi In late 2011, filmmaker Roxy Toporowych brought her documentary film “Folk!” on a tour of the United States, Canada and Ukraine. “Folk!” is the story of the Ukrainian diaspora and Ukrainian folk dancing in North America, and follows the legendary Roma Pryma Bohachevsky as she organizes a final concert of her works. Wondering how a film on Ukrainian folk dance could travel so far and affect so many people, this writer decided to reach out to Roxy for an interview. So how does one produce and direct a feature documentary about an obscure subject like Ukrainian dance? What drew you to the subject? Larissa Steinhagen I’ve always loved dancing.
