The documentary film ‘Kuzma: Terribly Funny’, about Andrii Kuzmenko — the lead vocalist and co-founder of the band Skryabin — will be released in Ukrainian cinemas on August 13. The film was produced by Knife! Films (‘Yaremchuk: Matchless World of Beauty’, ‘Okean Elzy: Stormwatch’, and the ‘Episodes’ project) and directed by Artem Hryhorian
While working on ‘Terribly Funny’, the KNIFE! Films team discovered and processed more than 400 hours of video and audio materials, as well as over 22,000 photographs.
According to the film’s creators, it will ‘take viewers on Kuzma’s journey — from a boy from Novoyavorivsk to an icon of Ukrainian pop culture’.
‘This is definitely not a classic documentary where everyone talks about the protagonist. Of course, some of that is inevitable, but we wanted the audience to spend this time with Kuzma himself — to see him as he really was. We knew him as a national hero, but we didn’t know his origin story’, Maksym Serdiuk, producer of ‘Terribly Funny’, says.
The documentary ‘Kuzma: Terribly Funny’ will be released in Ukrainian cinemas on August 13. At the same time, it will also screen in 20 other countries.
