‘Limonov: The Ballad’ Director Kirill Serebrennikov Sets French-Language ‘Love Story About Photography’ as Next Feature (EXCLUSIVE)


Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov will make his French-language debut with an ode to photography, and he dreams of working with VR.

Following 2022’s “Tchaikovsky’s Wife” with the one-two punch of “ Limonov: The Ballad ” and the upcoming Josef Mengele drama “The Disappearance” – which the filmmaker has already wrapped – Serebrennikov starting developing this French-language project to allow himself a welcome change of pace. And while the director and playwright has always divided his attention between film and theater, Serebrennikov is equally keen to try his hand at new media, adding that he’s is “dreaming” of making a VR or AR project, and that he “loves it a lot.” But the director was on-hand this past May to present “Limonov: The Ballad” alongside lead actor Ben Whishaw, and he could return next year to launch the Mengele-on-the-lam drama “The Disappearance.”
