Diaspora

Diaspora (2022)

Arriving in Winnipeg's North End in search of a better life, young Ukrainian immigrant Eva finds a city filled with rundown, outdated establishments and a disproportional number of other immigrants all too in search for a new life, all desperately holding onto their language and cultural, creating a neighborhood of miscommunication, apathy and growing alienation.

Curiosidades

Diaspora is a 2022 Canadian experimental drama film, directed by Deco Dawson. The film stars Yulia Guzhva as Eva, a Ukrainian immigrant who is trying to establish a new life for herself in Winnipeg, Manitoba, depicting her isolation as she tries to find ways to communicate with speakers of 24 different languages she does not understand.

Production

The film was both Dawson's feature film debut, and his first film project since 2012's Keep a Modest Head.

Although the film's release in 2022 coincided with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Canada's concurrent acceptance of many Ukrainian refugees, production on the film in fact started in 2019. Post-production and release was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.

A different, unrelated short film of the same title, by Tyler Mckenzie Evans, was also released in 2022.
