- description: For More Info go to www.datunamovie.com The award winning feature length documentary, Datuna: Portrait of America, (A Brain Bayerl Film) finished its successful film festival run in late 2016. Documenting the events of one tumultuous year, the film follows the compelling journey of artist David Datuna, an émigré that escaped the repression of the former USSR to pursue his dream of cultural and artistic freedom in his adopted country, the United States. Learn his story of past and present while you follow him on this incredible trek as Datuna overcomes great adversity through the lens of a one year journey to Miami, Moscow, Tbilisi, New York and ultimately to tens of thousands of visitors at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. As Datuna becomes the first contemporary artist in the world to fuse early wearable technology devices like Google Glass into a work of contemporary art, his personal life takes a dramatic turn when the artist discovers he has stage 3 lung cancer. Produced by Michael Huter, Original Music by Ljova Zhurbin Smithsonian Historian Emeritus Amy Henderson stated, “Datuna, an émigré from Soviet Georgia, illustrates the nation’s continuing sense of “E Pluribus Unum.” In his artwork the flag’s symbolism conveys the idea that, despite today’s cultural fragmentation and diversity, we are somehow still bound together, one from many.” Awards 2015 Best Film Award Raindance Film Festival London 2016 Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary Ft.
