“Ukrainian directors and other filmmakers at this time are forced to either fight the Russian attack, or hide in bomb shelters, or volunteer in the rear – although, of course, would also choose to make a film like Serebryannikov, but Russia has deprived them of such luxury.” The agency said in a statement.”Now, during the active hostilities on our territory, the simultaneous representation of the aggressor country and Ukraine on the same platform is unacceptable and will shift the focus from the horrors of war and the struggle of Ukrainians for their identity to draw attention to Russian propaganda for reconciliation through culture.” Kuderchuk said.
