Paris-based Slot Machine is re-teaming with Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa, whose film Donbass won Cannes’s Un Certain Regard directing prize, on his long-gestating project Babi Yar, which will mark his most ambitious film to date.

The film will chronicle the September 1941 massacre of 30,000 Jews by Nazi troops over a three-day period. Marianne Slot, the founder of Slot Machine, said Babi Yar would be a testimonial film without protagonist and a politically engaged movie that resonates with contemporary issues, such as homophobia and anti-semitism.

Babi Yar is being set up as a co-production between France, Ukraine and Romania. Source

Interesting, doubt it will make it over here.

Yeah, unless it becomes a festival favorite, it might not. I'm not sure whether Loznitsa's two previous films - A Gentle Creature and Donbass - were released in the USA theatrically.

Both have been screened in the USA, but very few screenings.

Well, that's how I feel pretty much about all the interesting films that I would like to see in a cinema.

This was turned into a documentary by Loznitsa.
