The Moscow cinema “Khudozhestvenny” hosted the opening of the Moscow retrospective of Alexander Sokurov’s films, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of his work. The opening film was the world premiere of his new film “Go. Go. Go” – a film version of the director’s dramatic work, staged in 2016 on the stage of the oldest theater in the world, Teatro Olimpiso in Vicenza.

At the premiere screenings in Italy, the performance was filmed with several cameras, after which the footage was edited into a 70-minute film. The film version of the director’s large-scale theatrical work tells the story of two characters doomed to life imprisonment. The plot is based on a free interpretation of the works of I.A. Brodsky, including the play “Marble”.

After the screening, a conversation took place between the director and the guests, and the moderator was Petr Shepotinnik, film critic and program director of the MIFF film festival. Nelly Uvarova, Yegor Moskvitin, Ksenia Surkova, Svetlana Maksimchenko, Anton Malyshev, Alexander Zolotukhin, Vladimir Bitokov, Anna Melikyan, Maria Fedorova and others came to the premiere.
