The Invasion preceded by Paleontology Lesson
Director: Sergei Loznitsa
2024 / 157min / DCP
Ten years after capturing the brutal crackdown on protesters by Ukraine’s Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovych and his subsequent deposal from office in Maidan, Loznitsa returned with another compelling document of his nation’s history in the making, a variegated collection of vignettes of everyday life—funerals, christenings, even the systematic pulping of Russian-language books—as lived during wartime, captured in the two years following the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. Screens with last year’s Paleontology Lesson, which follows a group of Kyiv children on a guided tour of their city’s Natural History Museum, and to a distant past far from the ominous rumble of the battlefield.
