Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa’s latest feature Imperium has won the Best Film Award in the Official Competition at this year’s London Film Festival.
The winners were announced this afternoon, the last day of the LFF.
The LFF Official Competition jury was led by documentary filmmaker Sam Pollard. Discussing why they chose Imperium, the jury described the picture as an “extraordinary film that explores the Soviet Union in the early 1970’s from a rich archive with a wide-ranging perspective that looks at life in a country with an extraordinary social and cultural landscape that has rarely been seen.”
