Artur Smolyaninov in Zhara (2006)
I Never Said Goodbye is an experimental narrative film that draws from the autobiographical experiences of a Ukrainian immigrant living in Baltimore, who loses his mother. The film was conceived when my mother died last summer after several months of illness. As an only child, with no connection to my father, my mother was the person that represented home. I had no idea how lost I would feel when she died. As the writer, director, and editor of the film, I see the evolution of the film deeply rooted in my personal experiences.
