GIORGIO LI CALZI + ALEKSANDR NEVSKIJ
New music and phonosphere to "Aleksandr Nevskij", a masterpiece of soviet cinema, directed by Sergej Ejzenštejn
in 1938. This project will see Giorgio, as the only performer, play live (trumpet and electronics) on a new edit
of this movie (55'), cut by himself.
About the video cut, Giorgio chose principally the epic and geometrical-constructivist scenes of the battle
and the battle array.
Obviously this work doesn't aim to compare with the work of Prokof'ev, who wrote the original music for the movie:
it's simply a tribute to the Russian people, their culture and their great ability in resisting to foreign oppressors through the eternal metaphor of Aleksandr Nevskij, the prince who in year 1240 led the Russian army to resist the Teutonic invasors.
Executive production (2005): Italo-Russian society Russkij Mir (Torino), in partnership with Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino.
Video production: Kinoetika (Torino).
