The Dragon of Dragons award for Sergei Loznitsa

 This year, the Krakow Film Foundation Programme Council decided to honour the eminent director of documentary films, Sergei Loznitsa, with the Dragon of Dragons award in recognition of his exceptional contribution to the development of the international cinema. The 21st laureate of this prestigious award is at the same time the youngest winner of the award in history.

Loznitsa created his own style of documentary film, resulting from patience and distance to the world, based on long shots and brilliant soundtrack. Kracauer would have had an insoluble problem with his works, because this is the cinema of pure recording, at the same time completely created. – explains prof. Tadeusz Lubelski, the President of the Programme Council, the film critic and film theorist.

The official award ceremony of the Dragon of Dragons will be held on May 29, 2018 at the 58th Krakow Film Festival in Krakow.
