The footage Loznitsa uncovered at Rome’s Audiovisual Archive of the Labour and Democratic Movement left him marvelling at the contrast with official Soviet productions from the same era. Opening in Moscow, the film shifts into territories where different traits, beliefs and ethnographic features emerge, revealing the powerful grip of an empire over its people. The result is a compelling indictment of Russia’s historical and present-day imperialism.
Imperium, dir. Sergei Loznitsa, Germany/France/Italy/Lithuania 2026, Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Georgian and other indigenous languages of the Eastern Soviet Union with English subtitles, 176 min.
