Harry Bardin’s film will take part in the independent section of the festival in Cannes Automatic translate

CANNES. A new film by Harry Bardin was selected in the 69th Film Festival’s “Two Week Filmmakers”.

The independent section of the Cannes Film Festival, which began its work in 1969, has remained the platform for arthouse and avant-garde cinema for half a century. Experiments, independent and original authorial statements are welcome here. The program of the current “Two Weekly” includes 18 full-length films and 11 short films. The second list contains the name of Harry Bardin. His new film “Listening to Beethoven” was created with funds that helped raise crowdfunding. The support of concerned spectators allows extending, according to the director, not only his creative, but also his physical life. While working on the previous tape, they helped not only finish it, but also pay the fine imposed on the director by the Ministry of Culture for not meeting the deadlines for the film. The director was caused by his prolonged illness.

The music for the film was recorded by the Vladimir Spivakov Orchestra, as during the work on Chuchei-3 and The Ugly Duckling. Participation in the project of the world famous musician was absolutely disinterested. The idea of ​​“Beethoven” was born during the filming of “Three Melodies”. The film about love and the mortality of life sounds the music of Saint-Saens, Louis Armstrong, Jules Massenet. The Beethoven Seventh Symphony and “Ode to Joy” became for Bardin the personification of freedom, the most important of which is only life itself.
