The State of Cinema event on 11 December has sold out. To meet demand, Loznitsa will deliver his lecture a second time on Thursday, 12 December, at 19:00, prior to the Belgian premiere of his latest film, The Invasion (2024). Following the screening, a Q&A will take place, moderated by Aude Merlin, lecturer in political science at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), a specialist in Russia and the Caucasus, and a member of Cevipol. You can buy tickets for this additional screening at Bozar or on their website.
10 years after the release of his epic film Maidan, Sergei Loznitsa continues his Ukrainian chronicles and documents his country’s struggle against the Russian invasion. Shot over a 2-year period, the film portrays the life of the civilian population all over Ukraine and presents a unique and ultimate statement of Ukrainian resilience in the face of a barbaric invasion. In the second part of his Ukrainian diptych, Loznitsa paints a monumental canvas of a nation determined to defend its right to exist.
“I have been making this film with deep pain in my heart and with great love for my country. This film is born out of compassion.” – Sergei Loznitsa
