Chernobyl & Pripyat 2007 We've noticed that people don't have any idea what (or where) we're talking about when we mention that we recently traveled to Chernobyl & Pripyat. Pripyat is a completely modern abandoned city about 2km from Chernobyl, inside of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, in Ukraine. Over 20 years ago (26 April, 1986), there was an accident in one of the nuclear reactors there that became the worst technological disaster in history. We got some really fantastic footage of both cities as well as the reactor. When we put the film together, we thought it would be helpful to include some information about what happened. Here's the final product. This footage of Chernobyl and Pripyat was filmed on August 7, 2007 by Jason Strain. Narration is by Laura Corliss. Music by Brokenkites.

Last Day of Pripyat The author of this video, Michail Nazarenko, was making a film about an atomic plant and happened to be in Pripyat. He also filmed the evacuation there.At the day of evacuation, the official level of radiation in Pripyat reached 1 Roentgen per hour, but people say it was 7 Roentgens. This makes a difference, because in first case, the population would die within two or three months. While in second, people would die in several days.

Pripyat, Chernobyl (part 1 of 2) A short film by Irish artist Nicky Larkin, shot in Pripyat, in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. The city of Pripyat was once considered the finest place to live in the whole of the Soviet Union. A thoroughly modern city, it was built in 1970 to house the workers of the new Chernobyl nuclear power plant and their families, and was once a happy home to 50,000 people. In the aftermath of the accident in Chernobyl in April 1986, the residents of Pripyat were instructed to pack one suitcase and told they would be returning in three days. One thousand buses were drafted in from all across the Soviet Union to take the residents of Pripyat out of their now highly contaminated homes. They never returned. 21 years later Pripyat stands empty, a ghost town deep within the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the last remaining Soviet city. This haunting experimental film by Irish artist Nicky Larkin takes you inside Pripyat and examines the relationship between time, nature and culture, in a city that will never be lived in again. Selected for The Locarno Film Festival 2008, Switzerland, The European Media Art Festival 2008, Germany, and The Darklight Film Festival, Dublin. Shot in September 2007 Running Time - 16 minutes (Due to youtube limitations, it has been neccessary to split Pripyat into two parts. If you wish to see the unsplit original version with stereo sound, visit www.myspace.com/nickylarkin) Nicky Larkin has a solo show in The Belltable Arts Centre, Limerick, in October 2008, where he will create large-scale multi-screen video and sound installations based on his visit to Pripyat.

Pripyat - city of the future (dir. David Bickerstaff) in soviet ukraine, pripyat was known as the city of the future. built in 1970 for the workers at chernobyl's nuclear power-plant, it had beautiful new housing, modern facilities and a vibrant young community. then on april 26th, 1986, reactor 4 at chernobyl explodes, sending an enormous radioactive cloud over northern ukraine and neighboring belarus. the danger is kept a secret from the population of pripyat who go about their business as usual 3km away. children play, lovers get married, shops trade and the residents marvel at the spectacular fire taking place at the reactor. after 3 days an area the size of england becomes contaminated with radioactive dust. the 50,000 inhabitants are eventually evacuated over the course of a single day. with the population displaced, forgotten and damaged, pripyat still remains empty today. twenty years to the day, april 26th 2006, will be a remembrance of the devastation to what was originally a promised future.

Heroes of Chernobyl This is the first video I have made. I took several videos and pictures and put them together with a song by 30 Seconds to Mars. The Windows Movie Maker started acting up on me so I wasn't able to fine tune the last parts of the video quite the way I wanted, but I was still pleased with the outcome. Comments welcome!

Pripyat Ghost Town - Elena Filatova Esta ciudad es conocida porque sufrió el peor accidente de la historia de la energía nuclear el 26 de abril de 1986 cuando se produce el sobrecalentamiento y explosión del reactor número 4 de la planta nuclear de Chernobyl, el cual emitió 400 veces más radiación que la bomba atómica que cayó sobre Hiroshima en 1945, por lo que la ciudad se vio afectada por la radiación y debió ser evacuada. La evacuación fue llevada a cabo en tan solo tres horas por el ejército ruso, cuando la mayoría de los habitantes fueron desalojados de sus casas contra su voluntad, y los animales domésticos y de ganado fueron sacrificados. Fue fundada en 1970 para dar hogar a los trabajadores de la central nuclear de Chernobyl y a sus familias. Debido a su estratégica posición geográfica en un clima relativamente templado y un suelo muy fértil, la ciudad comenzó a desarrollarse, convirtiéndose en una de las zonas más agradables para vivir en toda la antigua URSS. Debido a eso, la población en sólo 16 años creció hasta más de 40.000 personas. Actualmente no tiene ningún habitante, más que investigadores, científicos y fuerzas de seguridad que custodian la zona de exclusión. La ciudad es ahora un museo de la era soviética tardía, tiene muchos edificios de apartamentos, dentro de los cuales se encuentran abandonadas fotografías, juguetes de niños, ropa, objetos personales, etc. También hay restaurantes, plazas de juego, hospitales, escuelas y gimnasios que también fueron abandonados. Debido al inexistente mantenimiento de las construcciones, dentro de ellas el moho, hongos e incluso plantas han crecido gracias a la humedad producida al derretirse la nieve de invierno. Por una larga carretera completamente vacía se llega al puesto de control de la zona de seguridad de 30 kilómetros cuadrados resguardada por el ejército alrededor del área del accidente. El terreno que rodea al antiguo reactor está cercado también por un nuevo perímetro de 10 kilómetros cuadrados, que es donde se considera que hay mayor contaminación. Pripyat era una ciudad de unos 50.000 habitantes, que alojaba a los trabajadores de la planta nuclear de Chernobyl, quienes fueron evacuados días después del accidente, el día de la explosión el viento evitó que la nube radioactiva acabase con todos sus habitantes. En la zona de 30 kilómetros alrededor del reactor había unas 94 aldeas y las ciudades de Pripyat y Chernobyl. Actualmente, tras la masiva evacuación de la población, sólo queda un puñado de aldeas y la pequeña urbe de Chernobyl, donde hay unas 7.000 personas, es decir, menos de 5% de lo que había hace 20 años. La ciudad quedó totalmente suspendida, una muestra de ello es que aún se encuentran símbolos comunistas en los panoramas, por ejemplo, en la casa de voto, todavía están las urnas y los carteles que se mostrarían el 1 de mayo. Sobre el edificio de gobierno, aún están los escudos de la URSS y de la República Socialista Soviética de Ucrania; e incluso partes del himno de la URSS escritas en un edificio. Se estima que la zona no será habitable hasta dentro de varios siglos por las concentraciones de elementos radioactivos. Prácticamente cualquier persona puede entrar a la ciudad pero es recomendable llevar un dosímetro y no quedarse de noche. Las puertas y ventanas han sido abiertas para reducir el riesgo a los visitantes. Pero pese a esta situación, hay quienes han regresado a sus antiguas casas viejas y haciendo caso omiso de los peligros en la zona, han vuelto a cultivar el suelo.
