DELHI — Bushel is pleased to host a screening of Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story (2023, directed by Nate Pommer and Eric Weinrib) on Saturday, November 22, at 7:30 pm, followed by an in-person director Q&A. Bushel is located at 106 Main Street, Delhi. Doors at 7 pm; screening starts at 7:30 pm. $10–15 suggested donation.

Scream of My Blood is a punk-rock-doc that centers on the charismatic Ukrainian immigrant and punk legend Eugene Hütz. With Ukraine’s sovereignty and cultural identity under perilous threat, punk icons Gogol Bordello are using their music as a rallying cry for a nation. Through never-before-seen photo and video archives spanning two decades – including concert performances, backstage moments and intimate interviews – this film follows the epic journey of Eugene Hütz, Gogol frontman and one of the greatest storytellers of our time. A Romani born in Ukraine, Hütz fled his homeland during the Chernobyl disaster. Now, after years of exorcising demons through his music, he is going home to face down the biggest demon of all. Scream of My Blood is a testament to the power of speaking your truth, no matter the cost.

Co-director Eric Weinrib who will be present at the screening recounts, “I was a student at SUNY Delhi from 1990 to 1992, before transferring to the School of Visual Arts. I spent the summer of 1995 in Delhi, writing screenplays for my student films. Delhi is my home away from home and it is an honor to come full circle and share my work here at Bushel.”
