President Viktor Yushchenko supported the idea of cooperation between Ukraine and France in the cinematography and discussed possible Ukrainian-French projects at a meeting with a famous actor Gerard Depardieu in Kyiv.
As the Ukrainian President noted, there are many unrealized creative ideas of Ukrainian actors, directors and scenario writers in Ukraine.
Gerard Depardieu told the President that for the past time he is keen on studying Cossacks. According to him, this topic could be realized in the cinema through the figure of Gogol’s character Taras Bulba.
The famous French actor arrived in Ukraine for shooting a commercial trailer. He also intends to open his own restaurant in Kyiv.
