Cannes 2022: Russian filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov: 'We're fighting for Russian culture' He’s probably the most awaited director at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Dissident filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov is the only Russian with a film in the official selection. In previous years, Russia banned him from going to Cannes. Now in exile in Berlin, his film, "Tchaïkovski's Wife," is competing for the highest prize. Eve Jackson speaks to him about what it means to be there in person, why his film is not about Tchaïkovski's homosexuality and why it's important to defend Russian culture.
