Today in Moscow, the BEAT FILM Festival Music Film Festival starts . The leading London and the Night Berlin , the writer-writer William Burrose and Dab-Shaman Lee Scratch Perry, the portrait of Montreal and Road Trip in America, the Greenland software and the Washington Hardcore, the 92-year-old Fash-Diva and the double of Elvis-in the program of the present Beat 18 good films, and not just about music. We asked the musicians who fell into the advertising teaser of the festival and became faces of it to choose one film that they want to watch the most.

Kirill Ivanov ("The largest simple number"): "Opportunities are endless"

I would gladly go myself and warmly advise everyone to the film "Opportunities are endless." The piercing history of the disease of the frontman of the Orange Juice group. Cinema about overcoming, about struggle, about music and about love after a stroke. And this is a movie about a cool group shot by class directors. Their previous film about Blur - “No Distance Left To Run” - I looked at the holes.

Nari Simonyan: "Ottry City"

I am very impressed by the theme of the local cultural system as such. When I found out that the film “The Opera City” -about such different musicians from the same city-Montreal, this aroused great interest in me. I am interested to look at the relationship, look on Wednesday. I admit, I did not know that many artists that I really like were from one city. That is, in fact, this is a film about Montreal shown by the eyes of musicians, its inhabitants.

Zhenya Borzykh (singer and actress): "From station to station"

Beck, Cat Power , Ariel Pink, Patti Smith and others - is this company traveling from the ocean to the ocean? All 24 days? Together? 24 days they shake on the train, sleep in motels, eat in bars? If so, then their joint stay will definitely entail joint creativity. It would be cool to see, even if all these people will go out at different stations and they will only have time to sing a concert - and for now! Many of them had a strong influence on my perception of music. Others are unknown to me at all, but since they are shaking in one film, then cool guys. :) Even the fact that it will be possible to carry between two oceans to good music is already enough to want to watch this movie!

P. S., with great difficulty, chose from a minimum of three films from the category “I want to watch”-2nd and 3rd place were divided: a film about Berlin of the 1980s and a film about Letov .

Anton Khabibulin ("Dancing Minus"): "Favorite Heaven"

I am interested in a film about the bard of the tragic fate of Elliott Smith. Here you need to understand that every musician, composer has his own Elliot Smith, has his own Nick Drake, this will not go anywhere. On the surface - awesome songs, just below - abyss and despair. I love films about musicians - I recently watched about the travels of the Lightning Bolt group. Be sure to shoot such a movie.

Timofey Smirnov (DJ): "Opportunities are endless"

I probably had to say that most at this festival I want to watch the film “On the style” , but my heart was given to the film “Opportunities are endless” . An amazing and strong story about Edwin Collins, which many mistakenly consider One Hit Wonder . About life after a stroke and six months in a coma, but the main thing is about them with his wife Grace of Love. A very beautiful and sad movie.

I also really want to watch the film about the western Berlin “ B-Movie : noise and rage in West Berlin” and the film about the Greenland group Sumé , whose no rebellious songs actually led to the Greenland conditional restructuring.

PS

Kirill Sorokin (program director of Beat Film Festival): “From Station to Station”

“From the station to the station”, which the festival will open this year, is really something out of the ordinary: a kind of carousel, Coachella on wheels, sending you on a journey from one coast to another in Patti Smith and Terston Moore, Savages group and meowing Ariel Pink in tights.

Beat Film Festival will be held from May 28 to June 7 in the center of documentary cinema on Zubovsky, the Cinema "Horizon" and the summer cinema in the art Park "Museum"
