“Director Sergei Loznitsa has repeatedly stressed that he considers himself a cosmopolitan, a” man of peace. ” However, now that Ukraine is struggling to defend its independence, the key concept in the rhetoric of every Ukrainian should be his national identity. And there can be no compromises or halftones. In addition, Sergei Loznitsa's films were recently included in the program of the Russian Film Festival in the French city of Nantes called “From Lviv to the Urals.” This is completely unacceptable during the bloody full-scale war unleashed by Russia, ”the statement said.
The Ukrainian Film Academy also called on the world community to boycott Russian cinema, as well as to divide Ukrainian and Russian culture. The Film Academy urges not to perceive Loznitsa as a representative of the Ukrainian cultural sphere.
