The film is shown as part of the program ‘between worlds’ – a collaboration with A.G. Leventis Gallery in occasion of the exhibition of ‘Christoforos Savva: Simple – Complicated – Invinsible: An Uknown Archive’ (21.11.2025 – 28.06.2026).

In Fate of a Man (1959), directed by and starring Sergei Bondarchuk, a former Soviet soldier recounts his life before, during, and after World War II, including his capture by German forces, his years in a prisoner-of-war camp, and the devastating personal losses he endures upon returning home. Based on a short story by Mikhail Sholokhov, the film combines intimate storytelling with the broader trauma of the war, focusing not on battlefield spectacle but on endurance, dignity, and survival. Released in the post-Stalin era, it became one of the defining Soviet war dramas of its time, notable for its restrained emotional tone and humanist perspective. The film was widely acclaimed internationally and established Bondarchuk as a major figure in Soviet cinema, marking the beginning of a significant directing career.
