The person, who was believed to be untouchable buying the silence of his victims for years, finally fell to disgrace. The documentary features multiple interviews with Weinstein’s former colleagues and accusers. It takes a look at his career rise as a successful producer and a co-founder of the Miramax company, as well as follows his path to the times when he lost his reputation.

RetroMuzFest
The best of Ukrainian 1930-60s retro music combined with retro dancing, cars and fashion are the highlights of the RetroMuzFest, an international music festival named after Bohdan Vesolovsky. Vesolovsky was a Ukrainian composer who created over 130 popular songs over his years living in pre-World War 2 Lviv and Zakarpattia, and then Vienna and Montreal, where he died. He composed mainly in the genres of tango, foxtrot and waltz, music for entertainment in Ukrainian that was lacking at the time. RetroMuzFest will feature many of Vesolovsky’s lyrical and patriotic songs, played by the bands Wszystko, Shpylyasti Kobzari and other artists. Opera singer Viktoria Lukianets and folk singer Illaria will perform retro songs with the Honored Ukrainian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
