Sergei Loznitsa’s new film The Trial is comprised entirely of archival footage 
of a show trial in Stalinist Russia and the street demonstrations surrounding 
it. The Ukrainian filmmaker has taken long days of testimony and statements 
from the 1930 trial and edited them down to two hours. The eight defendants, 
most of them engineering professors and economists, confess to masterminding a 
grand scheme to sabotage Soviet industry with foreign help right up to the 
level of the French prime minister.


……. Dead Souls, an eight-hour documentary interviewing survivors of Maoist 
indoctrination camps. Created by the Chinese filmmaker Wang Bing, it is a good 
example of the way experimental approaches have infiltrated the documentary 
world – or how experimental filmmakers have turned to documentary approaches.
