Amid Russia's brutal 2022 invasion of Ukraine, filmmaker Kornii Hritsyuk stays in war-torn Ukraine, haunted by a chilling question: could Russian cinema be a sinister weapon of the Kremlin? Investigating 30 years of Russian films, he uncovers a nightmarish truth—these productions may serve as potent propaganda, insidiously shaping perceptions and justifying aggression. His documentary, Zinema, plunges into the abyss of Russian cinema, exposing a web of lies and xenophobia that underpins Russia’s imperial ambitions. What terrifying secrets lie hidden in these seemingly innocuous films?
