Pavlensky film awarded by the FIFA Montreal

We are delighted and proud that the film by Irene Langemann “Pavlensky – Man and Might” was awarded as the best artist portrait at the International Festival of the Film on Art in Montreal.

The jury’s reasoning is:

The striking portrait of an artist outside each standard. The life and art of Pyotr Pavlensky are imbued with his social and political commitment. The constraint of any restriction of political art he demonstrates at his own body and this is a vehement accusation against the political power of Russia. Razor sharp the film puts the fingers into open wounds, just and without circumference. The portrait of a man whose outer and inner contours he draws. The director allows us access to an artist without repentance.
