Hetman Sahaidachny

About this title

In 1997, Vinhranovsky resumed his project to create a “cinematic encyclopaedia of Ukraine” by securing funding from a private investor. He began filming the documentary “Hetman Sagaidachny,” facing concerns about the investor’s commitment and the lack of paintings from Petro Sagaidachny’s era. Overcoming these challenges, he found relevant paintings in Kyiv museums, confiscated in the 1930s. Filming, which was slow, concluded in April 1999.
