Director Alexander Sokurov refused to present his new film “Fairy Tale” at the Cannes Film Festival, despite the personal invitation of the organizers (it was previously known that this year the Cannes Film Festival would not accept a Russian delegation due to the situation in Ukraine ). This was reported by the National News Service.
said Sokurov.
The movie takes place during the Second World War but is known to be a “fantastic story” with a completely fictional plot.
Sokurov said in an interview with Fontanka.
It is known that no money was collected from the Russian state budget for the shooting and not a single Russian actor was involved in the film. As TASS agency reported at the end of March, it was previously reported that Sokurov plans to premiere “Tale” at the Cannes Film Festival and will apply. However, at the time, Sokurov stated that the movie Gangnam might not be appropriate.
said the director.
The Film Distributor’s Bulletin, citing its sources, wrote that the Cannes Film Festival is ready to consider films by Alexander Sokurov, Andrei Zvyagintsev and Kirill Serebrennikov for participation in the main competition, regardless of the international political situation. Serebrennikov’s painting “Tchaikovsky’s Wife” took part in the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival. The review will take place from May 17-28 this year.
