Screening: The Trial by Sergei Loznitsa

On 10 March, Pushkin House in collaboration with Curzon presents a screening of The Trial at Curzon Soho, marking the release of Loznitsa’s latest feature Two Prosecutors and his visit to London.

The film reconstructs, almost in real time, a staged Stalin-era trial held in Moscow in 1930. In the Pillar Hall of the House of Unions, engineers and economists are accused of sabotage and conspiracy. Rehearsed confessions unfold with chilling theatrical precision, exposing justice as spectacle.

Composed entirely of restored archival footage with synchronised sound, the film offers no narration — the machinery of power reveals itself. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Sergei Loznitsa. In Russian with English subtitles.
