Ukraine’s most famous director ostracized for unflinching film on Babyn Yar pogrom – Last week, Ukrainian Academy Award winner Sergei Loznitsa was dismissed from his country’s Film Academy after making a film on the Holocaust. His work is taking the US by storm | Timesofisrael
NEW YORK — If you live in New York City and are attuned to the programming schedules of local arts cinemas, there is a man who is noticeably having a moment: 57-year-old Sergei Loznitsa.
The fact that Ukraine’s most celebrated film director has so many projects coming to theaters right now is only partially due to the circumstances in his home country. (The IFC Center near New York University, for example, is offering a mini-retrospective.) The other reason is that Loznitsa, who works in both documentary and narrative film, is incredibly prolific, and the ebb and flow of international distribution sometimes makes for a logjam.
