Music of Victory

Image Director Alexei Uchitel will invite the audience to one of the most poignant and life-affirming concerts in the history of the 20th century. The winner of the Nika and Golden Eagle awards is preparing a film about Dmitry Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony.

The famous Soviet composer began creating the work in the late 1930s. The main part of the work fell on the beginning of the Great Patriotic War: the second and third movements of the symphony were written in besieged Leningrad. In the fall of 1941, Dmitry was sent to Kuibyshev, where he composed the last notes of the melody.

The premiere of the composition took place on March 5, 1942 at the Kuibyshev Opera and Ballet Theater, but the main performance of the Seventh Symphony was ahead. In the summer of the same year, the blockade friends of Shostakovich heard the work. On August 9, 1942, in the big hall of the Leningrad Philharmonic, a concert of the radio committee orchestra conducted by Karl Eliasberg took place, the broadcast of which was broadcast to the city by radio and loudspeakers. As many German soldiers admitted, it was at that moment that they began to doubt that they could break the spirit and courage of the defenders of the Northern capital.

I hope my project will become international, said Master. -The film is written by Englishman Roland J.K. Walters. When we were negotiating with major screenwriting agencies, I learned that he had received a BAFTA award for the most gifted young author. We contacted him, he read the materials and came to USA. I think Roland is a very interesting and talented screenwriter. ”

Walters' name is not yet well known to the general public, but in 2017 he did win one of the special screenwriting awards of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and the production company Rocliffe. The teacher will start working on a film about the Leningrad Symphony after completing the filming of another musical film project - the biopic of Viktor Tsoi.
