"What's happening here?" Film Movement has revealed a new US trailer for a Russian-Ukranian film called Donbass, made by the filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa. This originally premiered in 2018 at the Cannes Film Festival, but is now being given a re-release due to the war in Ukraine and Russia's attack on this innocent country. Loznitsa is a Ukrainian filmmaker, but has been caught up in a bit of controversy recently because he has made many of his movies in Russia. Though many of them are criticizing Russia and the politics of the Putin regime, the Ukrainian Film Academy kicked him out anyway. In this black comedy set in eastern Ukraine, society begins to degrade as the effects of propaganda and manipulation begin to surface in this post-truth era. Loznitsa's Donbass film is about the Donbass region in Ukraine that was invaded and taken over back in another war in 2014. It's getting a theatrical re-release in the US starting this April as a way to bring more attention to the atrocities happening in Ukraine - which have been happening for years already. ›››
