Actor Irina Starshenbaum holds up a banner with the name of director Kirill Serebrennikov, next to fellow cast members Teo Yoo and Roman Bilyk, before a screening of the film “Summer” (Leto),” May 9, 2018.
Serebrennikov, who is under house arrest in Russia, was not allowed to attend the festival. The filmmaker, who was critical of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, has been charged with fraud and confined. Supporters have called his arrest politically motivated.
