Description
Admission is free and open to the public.
CERES presents the first full screening of a major new documentary, exploring the complex mind and troubled career of composer Sergei Prokofiev. Its prizewinning Canadian director, Yosif Feyginberg, will introduce the film and lead a discussion after the screening.
The complete English version, entitled “Prokofiev: The Unfinished Diary”, represented Canada successfully at a recent Moscow festival, and has already won several international awards for outstanding films on the arts. It includes footage not previously seen here from the recent Princeton University production of Prokofiev’s 1925-27 ballet “Stal’noy Skok/Pas d’acier/Leap of Steel”, as reconstructed by Canadian musicologist Prof. Simon Morrison, who also figures prominently in the new documentary.
Mr. Feyginberg will explain the lengthy research process on which the film was based, and shed new light on the technical, financial, and personal issues that were encountered during its production. He looks forward to fielding audience questions raised by this stimulating film. Time permitting, additional scenes from the ballet’s revival may also be shown.
