PALEONTOLOGY LESSON

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa’s (Gold Giraldillo for Donbass) latest short film is an existential drama about his homeland. Premiering at Visions du Réel, this amusing—yet heartbreaking—visual essay advocates imagination as a space for empathy. During a visit to the Natural History Museum in Kiev, a group of children are momentarily transported to another time, finally able to forget the bombings, pain, and anger that punctuate their daily lives.
