Films that don’t need comments, off screen voice but are comprehensive by they depiction only – that’s what I call real films – with time will be in serious demand. For instance for street or walls design”.
Sergei Loznitsa
Loznitsa was born in Belarus in 1964 and grew up in the Ukraine. As a trained mathematician/ engineer he initially worked at the Institute for Cybernetics in Kiev for a number of years, where he was involved in the projects 'Development of the Expert System' and 'Artificial Intelligence' before embarking on a degree in film directing at the Pan-Russian Institute for Cinematography in the 'Art Film' department. While still a student, he already produced his first acclaimed documentary Today We Are Building a House (with Marat Magambetov). The film was immediately awarded the Golden Dove at the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary Film, and was equally well received in other countries, winning a total of eleven awards, in countries such as Israel, Russia, Bulgaria and Spain.
A series of further documentaries followed suit, among them 'Life, Autumn' (1998), 'The Halt' (2000), 'The Settlement' (2001), 'Portrait' (2002), 'Landscape' (2003), 'The Factory' (2004) and 'Blockade' (2005), that emulated the success of his filmic debut at festivals across Europe and beyond. The Golden Dove from Leipzig was soon followed by three Silver Doves. The awards Loznitsa has received throughout his career include among others the Grand Prix of the International Film Festival in Lyon, the Russian national documentary prize, the Golden Laurel, the Critics' Award of the Prix Europa, several Jury Awards at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the award Best Documentary at the International Film Festival in Manchester and Best International Film at the International Film Festival in Toronto. All of his films have been sold to Western European countries, the French-German station ARTE alone has bought seven of his films over the last six years.
Despite his relatively young age his films have already been shown at a number of retrospectives in France, Belgium Argentina, Ecuador and China.
