Ukrainian Filmmaker Oleh Sentsov Meets With Czech Republic President Ahead of ‘Real’ World Premiere
Petr Pavel, Czech Republic's President, met with Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh Sentsov Sunday ahead of the world premiere of Sentsov's documentary 'Real.'
Described as an “accidental” film, the 88-minute feature is entirely comprised of footage Sentsov shot in a trench in Ukraine’s Donbas region after a nearby unit was ambushed by Russian forces. Speaking after the meeting, Pavel told Variety that Sentsov hadn’t made any request for additional assistance for Ukraine from the Czech Republic. “But I believe that displaying the reality in such a brutal form will be a strong message to all those who believe that war in Ukraine is kind of a movie.”
