Speaking at the Berlin Film Festival, Matt Damon disclosed that he is directing a project on Ukraine.

At the Berlin Film Festival press conference for the documentary Kiss the Future, which examines Sarajevo residents’ struggle throughout the Bosnian War, Matt Damon was in attendance.

The Oscar-winning actor was questioned about if he was following in the footsteps of Sean Penn, who is producing Superpower, a movie on the conflict in Ukraine.

He responded that although they “don’t have anything on it right now, there isn’t any doubt that we’ll be doing,” he has “watched as everyone has with horror that unfolded there in the last year.”

He said, without going into greater detail, “I actually do have somebody over there researching one, but it’s in its early stages.”

The 52-year-old actor added that although he hasn’t met Volodymyr Zelensky, he “had the opportunity to meet his wife in New York during the UN General Assembly.”

“I think a lot of wonderful films are being made about it now. I’m sure there will be many, many more made going forward,” added Damon.
