‘DAU’ Director Ilya Khrzhanovsky Responds to Ukraine Backlash at Venice: I Wish for the Ukrainian Government to ‘Save t…

Comments

1. Adam: interesting that he's framing it as saving the country rather than condemning Russia's actions outright, at least for my money that's the more nuanced response
2. Selim: I've been following the controversy around this film, and it's absurd that Ukraine is accusing Khrzhanovsky of having state links just because he's exploring Soviet-era themes
3. Cobalt Warden: finally getting some clarity on this. Khrzhanovsky sounds more concerned about Ukraine's government than its people 🙏
4. Raviberg: you'd think after making a film about surveillance they'd understand the importance of keeping state influence out of it
5. Diego: I'd be more worried about the Russian government's official stance on this film than Ukraine's. What exactly is a "clear position" in this context?
6. Frost Cinder: what does he mean by 'win this war', has he seen the state of Ukraine's military?
7. Elin: it's hard not to take it personally when your work gets caught in someone else's politics, but i'm glad he spoke up, still waiting to see the film though
8. Talia: wish he stood firm like that in Russia too, not just for Ukraine
