Sergei Loznitsa’s ‘The Invasion’ Picked Up for France Following Cannes Premiere (EXCLUSIVE)


Potemkine Films has taken all rights for France for Sergei Loznitsa’s 'The Invasion' following Cannes premiere.

Shot over a two-year period, the film portrays the life of the civilian population all over Ukraine – from Lviv and Odessa to Kyiv and Dnipro – and presents a statement of Ukrainian resilience in the face of a barbaric invasion. Loznitsa’s feature-length documentary “Maidan” (2014), the chronicles of the Ukrainian revolution, also had its world premiere as a Special Screening at Cannes. His subsequent feature-length documentaries, “The Event” (2015), “Austerlitz” (2016), “The Trial” (2018) and “State Funeral” (2019) were presented as Special Screenings at the Venice Film Festival.
