"Summer" in the cold
Filming of the film "Summer" about the rock musician Viktor Tsoi director Kirill Serebrennikov will be frozen. This was stated by the producer of the picture Ilya Stuart, Interfax reports .
“The filming of the film“ Summer ”will be frozen immediately after the filming of technical scenes, and the scenes that the actors and the group managed to rehearse with the director, and according to his notes,” said Stuart's statement.
According to the producer, the filmmakers came to the conclusion that it is impossible to finish it without the participation of the director. "Serebrennikov is our director and our close friend, his film can not be supplied without his participation. This is the position of the film crew and all our partners. We thank all friends and colleagues for incredible support these days," Stuart emphasized. "We believe that the film" Summer "will be finished. All our thoughts are with Kirill Semenovich."
Meanwhile, the defense appealed the house arrest of Serebrennikov. The director Dmitry Kharitonov said that in an appeal he was asking for the director’s home arrest. "We will ask for any measure not related to deprivation of liberty," the lawyer said. The appeals of the lawyers of Sereberennikov are registered, but the date of consideration has not yet been scheduled, the Basmann District Council said.
The Association of Theater Critics came in support of Serebrennikov and other theater figures, now declared suspects in the so -called “Seventh Studio”. “An indicative arrest with the escort of a person who did not try to hide from the investigation and who was engaged in the filming of the film in St. Petersburg looks like an action of intimidation. Only in such, extra -yielding terms, explanably prolonged imprisonment in the pre -trial detention center and respected theater producer Alexei Malobrodsky, and seriously sick accountant Nina Maslyaeva. The society did not receive a satisfactory answer, what exactly caused these extraordinary measures that can be qualified as a form of torture, ” the statement published on the Association website said.
Director Ivan Vyrypaev called on the artists of art to stop supporting power in connection with the persecution of Serebrennikov. "Do not shook their hands on the television cameras, do not appear at common events, do not mention the name of the current president in the press ..., and of course, in no case do not participate in his election campaign." - wrote the director.
Serebrennikov is accused of organizing the theft of 68 million rubles allocated in 2011-2014 to implement the Platform project.
On August 23, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow granted the investigation and sent Serebrennikov under house arrest until October 19 ( 
The decision was made, although the guarantors for the director were spoke of several dozen public figures and artists. The witness of the defense of the chief of the "new literary review" Irina Prokhorova said that she was ready to make a deposit in any volume.
About 500 people came to support the director to the court building. They applauded, chanted the director’s name, shouted “Freedom!” Police in Megaphone called on citizens not to interfere with the work of the court and free the roadway. The audience met the court decision shouting "Shame!"
