U samo dva dana, 29. i 30. septembra 1941, Odred posebne namjene 4a nacističkog Eskadrona smrti C, uz pomoć dva bataljona južne regimente ukrajinske rezervne policije, bez bilo kakvog otpora lokalnog stanovništva, u klancu Babin Jar, sjeverozapadno od Kijeva, streljao je 33.771 Jevreja. Film rekonstruiše historijski kontekst ove tragedije uz pomoć arhivskih snimaka iz perioda nacističke okupacije Ukrajine i decenije nakon toga. Kada sjećanja padnu u zaborav, kada prošlost zasjeni budućnost, istina se izgovara filmskim jezikom.
On September 29 and 30,1941, Sonderkommando 4a of the Einsatzgruppe C, assisted by two battalions of the Police Regiment South and Ukrainian Auxiliary Police, and without any resistance from the local population, shot dead 33,771 Jews in the Babi Yar ravine in the northwest of Kyiv. BABI YAR. CONTEXT reconstructs the historical setting of this tragedy through archival footage documenting the German occupation of Ukraine and the subsequent decade. When memory disappears into oblivion, when the past overshadows the future, it is the voice of cinema that articulates the truth.

U regiji Donbas u istočnoj Ukrajini vodi se hibridni rat koji uključuje otvoreni oružani sukob, ali i široko rasprostranjena ubistva i pljačke čiji su počinioci članovi separatističkih bandi. U Donbasu rat se naziva mirom, propaganda se prikazuje kao istina, a mržnja proglašava ljubavlju. Putovanje kroz Donbas niz je neobičnih avantura u kojima se groteskno i dramatično isprepliću poput života i smrti. Ovo nije priča o jednoj regiji, jednoj zemlji ili o jednom političkom sistemu. Ovo je priča o svijetu lažnih identiteta u vremenu nakon istine, priča o svakom od nas.
In the Donbass, a region of Eastern Ukraine, a hybrid war takes place, involving an open armed conflict alongside killings and robberies perpetrated by separatist gangs on a mass scale. Here, war is called peace, propaganda is uttered as truth, and hatred is declared to be love. A journey through the region unfolds as a chain of curious adventures, where the grotesque and dramatic are as intertwined as life and death. This is not a tale of one region, one country, or one political system; it is about a world lost in post-truth and fake identity. It is about each and every one of us. Majdan / Maidan
Netherlands, 2014, Colour, 131 min. Režija / Director: Sergei Loznitsa
MAJDAN je hronika građanskog ustanka protiv režima predsjednika Janukoviča u Kijevu u zimu 2013/2014. godine. Film prati tok ustanka: od mirnog protesta pola miliona ljudi na trgu Majdan do krvavih uličnih borbi između demonstranata i pripadnika specijalne policije. MAJDAN je portret buđenja jednog naroda i njegovog ponovnog otkrivanja vlastitog identiteta. Loznitsa se izdiže iznad dnevne politike i fokusira se na prirodu narodne pobune kao društvenog, kulturnog i filozofskog fenomena. Snažna mješavina entuzijazma, herojske borbe, terora, hrabrosti, ljudskih težnji, međuljudske solidarnosti, narodne kulture, strasti i samožrtvovanja, MAJDAN je zapanjujuće filmsko platno na kojem su izmiješani klasični filmski jezik i urgentnost dokumentarističkog stila.
MAIDAN chronicles the civil uprising against the regime of president 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 bloody street battles between protestors and riot police. MAIDAN is a portrait of an awakening nation, rediscovering its identity. Director Sergei Loznitsa rises above current political issues and looks at the nature of the popular uprising as a social, cultural, and philosophical phenomenon. A powerful mix of enthusiasm, heroic struggle, terror, courage, aspiration, people's solidarity, folk culture, passion, and self-sacrifice, MAIDAN is a stunning cinematic work combining classical filmmaking style and documentary urgency.

Zasnovan na arhivskim snimcima iz pedesetih i šezdesetih godina prošloga vijeka, film nas vodi na gala predstave u Pariskoj operi kojima su prisustvovale francuske i međunarodne zvijezde, kraljevske ličnosti i šefovi država. Uz pomoć rafinirane montaže i nježnog humora, Sergei Loznitsa oživljava sjajnu epohu kada su se kraljevi i kraljice, predsjednici i filmske zvijezde penjali uz stepenice hrama Garnier kako bi štovali opernu umjetnost.
Based on archive footage from the 1950s and 1960s, A NIGHT AT THE OPERA revisits gala soirees at the Opéra de Paris, frequented by French and international celebrities, royalty, and heads of state. With exquisite editing style and soft humour, Sergei Loznitsa revives the glamorous era when kings and queens, presidents and film stars ascended the stairs of the Garnier temple to worship the Art of Opera.

PORTRET je bezvremeni film o ljudskom dostojanstvu i gracioznosti. Portret jednostavnih seljaka – ne samo da mi, kao gledatelji, zurimo u njihova lica, već i oni gledaju nas. Ovo umjetničko djelo mijenja
U magli / In the Fog
mišljenja. Predstavlja povratak originalnoj svrsi filmske kamere da dokumentira ljudski život i vječnost prirode.
PORTRAIT is a timeless film about human dignity and grace. A portrait of down-to-earth peasants – not only as we, as spectators, look into their faces, but they also look at us. This work of art changes opinions. It is a return to the original function of the cinematic device: to document human life and the eternity of nature.
