DESCRIPTION:\n	Dir. Sergei Loznitsa. 2018\, 94 mins. DCP. In English\, Russ
 ian\, and German with English subtitles. Initial evidence to the contrary\
 , the ceremonies recorded in this latest documentary by Sergei Loznitsa do
  not take place in Russia\, but in Berlin’s Treptower Park\, where crowds 
 gather annually to commemorate the Red Army’s defeat of Nazi Germany in th
 e Great Patriotic War\, a.k.a. WWII. The strange tension of celebrating vi
 ctory over a country within that country is only enhanced by Loznitsa’s co
 olly demonstrative camera\, which keeps locating within the crowd subsets 
 of people in subtle combat with one another: anti-democratic Germans\, Rus
 sian fascists\, pro-Russian Ukrainians\, anti-Russian Ukrainians\, post-So
 viet pilgrims\, tourists. Nary a veteran is sighted—though Loznitsa makes 
 certain to dwell on the monument’s appropriately somber friezes depicting 
 the war and its atrocities—leaving the meaning of it all in the hands of p
 eople with their own agendas to pursue. \n	\n	\n	Preceded by Victory Day (
 Alina Rudnitskaya. 2014\, 30 mins.) Using the patriotic military celebrati
 ons of May 9 as an ongoing and disquieting motif\, St. Petersburg–based do
 cumentary filmmaker Rudnitskaya introduces several ordinary gay and lesbia
 n couples whose legal rights are increasingly invalidated\, and whose very
  lives are in constant danger in a cultural and political climate that’s t
 urned blatantly\, unapologetically homophobic. \n	\n	\n	Tickets: $15 ($11 
 seniors and students / $9 youth (ages 3–17) / free for children under 3 an
 d Museum members at the Film Lover and Kids Premium levels and above). Ord
 er tickets online.&nbsp\;(Members may contact members@movingimage.us with
