Are National Event Planners Boycotting Russian Culture?

“It’s complicated. We don’t know yet if we will have enough budget for the size we see, but we believe we will find a way, perhaps the exhibition will not last three months, but two.

It is also very important to show respect both to the curator (René Blok – ed) and to the artists, who have written in their calendars that they make the works and the events take place “, explained Dábola.

On the other hand, opera singer Anna Netrebko received criticism for insufficient distance from Kremlin politics, as she performed in both France and Germany.

Two films made in Russia are included in the “Baltic Pearl” film festival, including Kirill Serebrennikov’s “Chikov’s Wife”.

Liene Treimane, head of the Riga IFF, said that this film was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival, expressing confusion about this choice.

Furthermore, the director himself, as part of this festival, has asked for the lifting of the European sanctions against one of the financiers of his film: the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
