Yuri Vladimirovich Kuzin
Independent filmmaker from St. Petersburg. In 1999 participated in Cannes Film Festival with 'Der Linkshänder' (Cinéfondation program). Entered VGIK at 8th attempt. Gravitated towards literature and philosophy, publishing short stories, novels and treatises on theology.
Director's Statement
As a screenwriter, director and producer, I shot an updated version of 'Der Linkshänder' about Adolf Hitler's childhood in Linz. The 1999 film was completely updated in 2024: format, editing, sound, and the original 3/4 aspect ratio replaced with 16:9. I decided to investigate the nature of evil with the drama of left-handed children. What if we don't stigmatise evil? What if the devil is laid on the operating table?
