DCP | 2024 | Directed by Sergei Loznitsa | Netherlands, France, United States | 145 minutes | Ukrainian with English subtitles

10 years after the release of Maidan, his epic film about the mass civil uprising in Kyiv's Independence Square, Sergei Loznitsa continues his Ukrainian chronicles and documents his country’s struggle against the Russian invasion. Shot over a two-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.

The filmmaker will be present for a conversation and Q&A following the screening.

This screening is part of the Slavic and Eurasian Literatures and Cultures Colloquium. 

Sponsored by the Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Fund; the Yale Film and Media Studies Program; Department of Slavic and Eurasian Literatures and Cultures; and the Program in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
