Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday asked artists and filmmakers to unequivocally declare their support for his country during a live video address at the opening of the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival.
Referring to the Berlin Wall which divided the German capital from 1961 to 1989 into the capitalist west and communist east, Zelenskyy said that now Russia, which attacked Ukraine almost one year ago, is building a new -- figurative -- wall in his country.
Zelenskyy, a former comedian and actor, features prominently in Sean Penn's film about the war in Ukraine, "Superpower," which will have its world premiere at the Berlinale. Germany's minister of culture also stressed the importance of culture in times of war and crisis. "Whoever makes films and whoever shows films in dark times resists bondage," Claudia Roth said.
