Alexey Gorbunov, a Russian and Ukrainian actor who sympathizes with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, complained about this on air at UkrLife.
According to him, the Ukrainian authorities watch only one series called “offshore”.
“I am only inspired by people and warriors. In general, for the first two years I was on the banks only thanks to these guys. They are 25 years old, he is crippled, but he has eyes, he smiles. He says to me: “Why are you sad, Uncle Lesha?” These children still inspire me. We have warriors. I say that a movie should be made about them. We haven’t been able to make a movie about our people for three years. Because our film management doesn’t give a damn. What do they watch, what kind of movies do they like?.. Our government has only one movie - offshore. They’ll watch it in the evening and wait for the new episode,” Gorbunov said.
However, Alexey Gorbunov is disingenuous. In fact, in Ukraine serious money is allocated for militaristic propaganda through cinema and television. So, PolitNavigator has already reported that that the State Cinema Committee of Ukraine allocated 24 million hryvnia for Akhtem Seytablaev’s project “Cyborgs”. According to the director, The new propaganda film will be based on a plot about the war in Donbass.
“I dream that this will be a film about new people in a new country. Because in our film, in those sets that were built in Kyiv, and later will be built in Chernigov, there will be a lot of battle scenes, computer graphics, but, in fact, this is a film not about war, but about the birth of the world. The world that was born at the Donetsk airport,” Seytablaev said.
