John Paskievich

John Paskievich is a Genie Award-winning Ukrainian-Canadian documentary filmmaker from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Paskievich's 2006 National Film Board of Canada documentary "Unspeakable" explores stuttering. Paskievich himself stutters and he narrates and participates in the film, which won a special jury prize at the 2006 Whistler Film Festival.

His other directorial credits include "My Mother’s Village", in which Paskievich delves into the experience of other Ukrainian-Canadians, "The Gypsies of Svinia", "If Only I Were an Indian" and the Genie Award-winning short film "Ted Baryluk’s Grocery".

Born in Austria, Paskievich emigrated to Canada at the age of five. He studied at the University of Winnipeg and Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto. An accomplished stills photographer as well as filmmaker, his photographs have been exhibited at prestigious galleries and museums across Canada.

His photographs have also been published in four books: "A Place Not Our Own, Waiting for the Ice Cream Man... A Prison Journal, Urban Indians" and "A Voiceless Song".
