THE RIGHT WAY TO CENSOR MOVIES YOU DON'T LIKE. RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA ARE THE WHACK! NOT ONLY IS THIS DIRECTOR DENIED BAIL, BUT HE IS FORBIDDEN FROM FINISHING THE MOVIE HE IS CURRENTLY DIRECTING. THEY COULD ALSO CHARGE HIM FOR WASTING FUNDS ON A PROJECT HE PROBABLY WON'T BE ALLOWED TO FINISH. AND HE IS FORBIDDEN FROM TALKING TO ANYONE EXCEPT CLOSE RELATIVES AND HIS LEGAL TEAM, WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF HIS INVESTIGATORS. SOUNDS MORE LIKE HE IS GUILTY OF SPREADING TREASON, INSTEAD OF STEALING $1 MILLION OF STATE FUNDS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SPENT ON THEATER PROJECTS. AND HOW MUCH MONEY WILL BE LOST IF HE IS UNABLE TO FILM HIS MOVIE? ======= ======= http://variety.com/2017/film/news/studen...t-russia-1202536790/ Variety ‘Student’ Director Kirill Serebrennikov Put Under House Arrest in Russia Robert Mitchell The Student Cannes Film Festival Courtesy of Cannes Film Festival August 23, 2017 | 09:10AM PT Acclaimed Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov has been put under house arrest in Russia pending trial on charges of embezzling state funds. The filmmaker, whose 2016 film “The Student” (pictured) won the Francois Chalais award in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, was arrested in St. Peterburg on Tuesday where he was shooting a new movie about Soviet singer-songwriter Viktor Tsoi. Appearing in a Moscow court Wednesday, Serebrennikov found his request to be freed on bail rejected despite character-witness statements on his behalf from a number of Russian actors and directors, including Fedor Bondarchuk. Serebrennikov pleaded innocent to the charges and told the court he needed to “finish filming a movie.” The decision means he will not be able to return to work on his biopic of rock star Tsoi and is banned from communicating with anyone aside from close relatives and his legal team without investigators’ approval. Serebrennikov is accused of embezzling 68 million rubles ($1.15 million) in state funds, which was intended for a theater project called “Platform,” through his nonprofit organization Seventh Studio between 2011 and 2014. The director and several employees of Seventh Studio were previously detained and questioned by investigators in May. Serebrennikov’s apartment and Moscow’s Gogol Center, where he has served as artistic director since 2012, were both searched at the time. Serebrennikov denies all allegations, calling them “absurd” in court. He says the funds were used to stage genuine productions. His supporters, who chanted “Freedom!” outside the court, contend that the charges against him are part of a government crackdown on artistic freedoms. The board of the European Film Academy called on Russian authorities to release Serebrennikov immediately and to guarantee his artistic freedom. His trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 19. If convicted he could face 10 years in prison. Serebrennikov’s lawyers said they would appeal the decision. | |
