Every year on May 9th, a celebration of the Soviet victory in World War II takes place.
每年的5月9日，俄罗斯的胜利日，庆祝苏联在第二次世界大战中获胜。来自世界各地的人们前去纪念，普通民众在广场上欢歌载舞，有宣讲远离法西斯主义的，有提醒人们警惕纳粹卷土重来，那些退伍军人行军礼唱起喀秋莎真是极具感染力，镜头一次次切到严肃庄严的雕塑，提醒人们战争的残暴。导演是白俄罗斯谢尔盖。

It was filmed in rural Russia, near the city of Smolensk. It shows a small village, where all young people are gone and only older people are left. There is shortage of basic material necessities, but at the same time they are in possession of the simple, but most important core values and elements of life: their Village, Time, Friends and Family, Children, Wedding, Thunderstorm, Morning, Conversation, Happiness, Death, Sun, Winter, and Love.

一场战争在乌克兰东部的顿巴斯爆发，由此衍生出军事冲突、犯罪行动以及分裂主义者主导的大肆劫掠。在顿巴斯，战争已是常态，政府宣传自诩真相之源，仇恨变成了爱的方式。走入顿巴斯，就像踏上一场疯狂的旅行，悲剧和荒谬与生死相交织。这并不是一个关于某个地区、某个国家或某种政治体系的故 事，而是展示了一个迷失于谎言与真相，寻找自我身份的失落的世界，这事关我们每一个人。

It seems, happily, we are to have a new narrative feature or documentary (or both) every year from Ukraine’s Sergei Loznitsa. Shortly after his 2012 sophomore narrative film In the Fog, Loznitsa had announced plans to commence filming on Babi Yar, which details the brutal eponymous massacre which took place in 1941 Ukraine. Due to the severe civil and political unrest in the region, Loznitsa was forced to move on to other projects. But following the premiere of 2018’s Donbass as the Un Certain Regard opening film (one of the year’s best films and still in need of US distribution), the director announced plans to revisit Babi Yar, eyeing a summer 2019 shoot.

A chronicle of the civil uprising against the regime of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych that took place in Kyiv in the winter of 2013/14. The film follows the progress of the revolution: from peaceful rallies, half a million strong in the Maidan square, to the bloody street battles between protesters and riot police.

In 1930 in Moscow, USSR. the Soviet government puts a group of top rank economists and engineers on trial, accusing them of plotting a coup d'état. The charges are fabricated and the punishment, if convicted, is death.

The enigma of the personality cult is revealed in the grand spectacle of Stalin’s funeral. The film is based on unique archive footage, shot in the USSR on March 5 - 9, 1953, when the country mourned and buried Joseph Stalin.
