Tchaikovsky’s Wife filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov, a Russian dissident was grilled, by the global press at Cannes over the pic being bankrolled by oligarch financing in particular Roman Abramovich, as well as the notion of the world’s boycott against Russia.Abramovich recently said he was donating monies from the sale of England’s Chelsea FC to a foundation that would benefit the war victims of Ukraine.
Did the financier have similar plans to donate any future monies earned from Tchaikovsky’s Wife?Serebrennikov says Abramovich is one of the good guys.“He helps modern art, and he has for a long time now.
He’s a real patron of Russia and that’s been deeply appreciated. Thanks to him, we have arthouse cinema,” said the filmmaker.The oligarch’s Kinoprime foundation is all for the greater glory of art per Serebrennikov: “These aren’t propaganda films, rather the contrary.
You must realize he does a lot of good.”” Zelenskyy asked President Joe Biden not to put Abramovich under any sanctions. He asked Abramovich be one of the key people on peace,” the director continued, “I agree entirely with we need to lift the sanctions against Abramovich.”Added the film’s producer Ilya Stewart about the film’s financial status, “We’re very far away from earning a lot of money,” stating that the production was funded by donations “that help and support us, it’s not about business; it’s about art.”Tchaikovsky’s Wife, which is playing in competition at Cannes, follows the tumultuous relationship between Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the most famous Russian composer of all time, and his wife Antonina Miliukova.More…New and returning series on broadcast, cable and streamingSeries that made it or didn’t make it in 2021-22Broadcast networks’ fall lineups and
