*This event is a rental. Normal Mayfair prices and memberships do not apply.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

Ukrainian Odesa, 1926: a city recovering from the war, a city where jazz sounds and cinema is born. Young artist Sashko Dovzhenko seeks freedom in art - and stumbles upon a system that does not forgive dreams. His first film may be his last. And he does not yet know that soon his name will be known to the whole world.
