    TBH I’m quite surprised they even considered showing that propaganda shitshow, they must have completely missed the shitstorms the other film festivals encountered last year.

      For the sake of neutrality of the art, even propaganda pieces should be considered even if not accepted.

        There is no neutrality of art. Art is a reflection of it’s maker. The maker of this piece of shit is, unsurprisingly, a piece of shit, and it should roundly be rejected for what it is.

        Yeah, no. If the film takes a stance on an issue, or advocates for a certain point of view, but isn’t upfront about it, it shouldn’t be considered.

          I’m sorry, but that seems way too broad. Film is an art form and excluding metaphor from it would really limit its range.

    Fuck that shit. The creator is a known propagandist who works for the russian regime.
