About this event
Sergei Loznitsa assembles footage shot by an Italian communist film crew in the early 1970s into a panorama of the Soviet Union. This German, Italian, French and Lithuanian co-production looks across contrasting landscapes, communities and everyday rituals, revealing tensions beneath the official image of a unified empire.
Loznitsa introduces the North American premiere at MoMA. The film runs 175 minutes, with Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Georgian and other Indigenous languages of the eastern Soviet Union, with English subtitles. Reserve through MoMA.
