KHARMS MOVIE TRAILER PRESENTAION AT THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

Proline Film Studio in association with ROSKINO is proud to present the trailer for the new feature film KHARMS at the Venice International Film Festival. 

The film tells the story of the life of Daniil Yuvachev, known to the world as Daniil Kharms. Kharms, the brilliant master of the absurd, battles with himself, with his flaws, his passions and the world around him in his shabby apartment and the offices of the Soviet children’s magazines Chizh and Yozh, and on the streets, river embankments and roofs of early 20th century St. Petersburg. The biopic, filled with references to Kharms’s works, veers into surrealism.

The script received support from the Dutch Hubert Bals Fund (HBF), an initiative of the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Support has also been provided by the Russian Ministry of Culture and the major European foundation, Eurimages. It is a co-production with Lithuania and Macedonia.

Andrei Sigle, producer: “We’re delighted to present the trailer to our new film at the Venice Film Festival. Next year the entire film will be completed, and we look forward to presenting it to leading international film festivals, including the Venice Festival, which has already recognized one of our films, “Faust” by Alexander Sokurov, with a Golden Lion.”

Ivan Bolotnikov, director: “Our film is an attempt to unravel the secret of a person’s appeal, which we can judge only by bits of creative output gleaned from memoirs, all of which together speak of the enormous importance of the man who hid behind the pen name of Kharms.”

Katya Mtsitouridze, ROSKINO CEO: "Kharms today, perhaps, the most up-to-date of all our great writers. His characters are recognizable, dialogues written off from our everyday life, his sarcasm and irony are filled with actual meaning. It's great that producers from St. Petersburg, always known for their non-conformism, decided on this film. Presentation in Venice will show international film perspective."
