On Sunday, Allen spoke during an online session alongside some of Russia’s top movie directors, cinematographers and actors, many of whom, including director Fyodor Bondarchuk, who interviewed Allen, have publicly supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Allen — who has won four Oscars — talked about AI and described a visit to the USSR as a grim experience, but also praised Russian cinema and said he could potentially make a movie in Russia, although he has not yet received any offers to do so, Russian media reported.
“If there were similar proposals, I would sit down and think about what the script could be about how well you feel in Moscow and St. Petersburg,” Allen said.
