Simone Baumann

Vitaly Mansky meets renowned German producer Simone Baumann in the Estonian village of Käsmu, where friends have gathered to celebrate her birthday. They talk about German and Russian cinema, the war, cultural ties between Russia and Germany, and why it is becoming increasingly difficult to make independent films in Russia today. Vitaly Mansky and Simone Baumann debate whether Russian culture is being cancelled and what a film about contemporary Russia should look like.
