AZ Museum, Moscow
The cinema program is dedicated to the Soviet fiction bio-pics about artists. The list includes masterpieces "Andrey Rublev", "Pirosmani" along with less known and unjustly forgotten pictures - "The Great Samoyed", "The Zodiac". Chronologically, all these movies were shot between 1959 and 1989 - mature years of two characters of the exhibition "Zverev / Mikhnov-Voitenko. Second, Multiplied by Eternity" - Anatoly Zverev and Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko.
"Etudes on Vrubel"
USSR, 1989, 87 min
Directed by Leonid Osyka
Starred: David Giorgobiani, Anatoly Romashin, Olga Gobzeva, Alexey Safonov, Svetlana Knyazeva
Production: Dovzhenko Film Studios
One of the leaders of the Ukrainian poetic cinematography was dreaming about staging a movie about Vrubel yet in the 1960-s. Though he made it happen in the twilight of the Soviet history, what influenced greatly the film production. Sergey Paradzhanov is the co-author of the movie, while Edisher Giorgobiani (who played the artist in “Repentance” by Tengiz Abuladze) starred for the main role. The movie, as the title states, speaks in the etude style and a bit chaotically about the Kiev lifetime of Vrubel. There no bio info about the artist in the movie, instead — ardent image of a passionate and straight-out creator.
The movie will be presented by Andrey Apostolov, film historian, Chief Editor of the Lenfilm Studio, program director of the filmfests "GorkyFest", "Window to Europe".
