At the 96th Academy Awards, 20 Days in Mariupol won the award for Best Documentary Feature.
The director of the documentary film 20 days in Mariupol, Mstislav Chernov, spoke about the negative sides of fame. He shared the details in an interview with Media Detector.
According to him, angry messages started coming to him after he left the Russian-occupied city, and continued to come after he, in particular, appeared in public. For example, after a speech in the European Parliament, the same after the Oscar ceremony.
“The threats started after Mariupol and don’t end every time I appear in public space and the media writes about it I can’t talk about it. It’s hard to move, it’s hard to ensure the safety of filming and the safety of loved ones in life, let’s say it,” said Mstislav, but did not specify who really threatened him.
The director also mentioned that he doesn’t think he woke up famous, because he has been known in press circles for a long time. As for the cinema, many people are now learning about Mstislav Chernov.
“And some people think that I’m not a filmmaker, but rather a reporter but we can talk about it later,” he concluded.
Earlier it was reported that Mstislav Chernov spoke about the reaction of Hollywood stars to his performance at the Oscars.
