#SaveOlegSentsov
Crimean filmmaker Oleg Sentsov has been convicted to 20 years in Russian jail on false charges of terrorism as he opposed Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. A request for Sentsov’s extradition to Ukraine was denied in October 2016 on the grounds that he had become a Russian citizen upon the annexation. On May 14, 2018 Sentsov declared an indefinite hunger strike, stating that “the one and only condition for its termination is the release of all Ukrainian political prisoners that are currently present on the territory of the Russian Federation.”
On October 6, after hunger striking for 145 days, Sentsov was forced to end his hunger strike, under the threat of being force fed by authorities. He is currently serves his sentence in Polar Bear prison colony.
Join global campaign to #SaveOlegSentsov.

With nowhere to turn, this city boy finds shelter at the home of a colorful local named Vova. With Vova as his guide, Lukas is confronted by a universe beyond his imagination, one in which life seems utterly detached from any identifiable structure. Fascinated by his host and his host's daughter Marushka, with whom he is rapidly falling in love, Lukas’s contempt for provincial life slowly melts away and sets him on a quest for a happiness he had never known could exist.

– Directing Prize, Un Certain Regard, Cannes Film Festival, 2018
– Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Ukrainian Film Academy Awards, 2019
Thirteen short stories unfold a panorama of life in the occupied territories, from tragedy to comic farce. The “green men” are unable to recall the name of their “native town, here nearby”. A German journalist at a checkpoint is greeted with a shout, “we’ve caught a fascist!”. They celebrate weddings and set public punishments, they expropriate cars and money for the benefit of the “republics”, they live in basements to escape from shell bombings. Sergei Loznitsa’s film raises the question of where in this kaleidoscope lies the border between truth and fiction.
