Several new documentaries are in development:
* The next documentary about our Ukrainian saga! This time, we will accompany SARMATICA on a tour through Russia and Ukraine. They will be touring with their new musical project: to recreate a mix of musical styles as it may have been heard at the court of the Russian Court of Czarina Elizaveta Petrovna in the early eighteenth century. At that time, Italian and other Western European baroque musicians rubbed shoulders with Ukrainian kobzars. SARMATICA will help us imagine what that may have sounded like.
* A documentary on musicians playing Jewish music inspired by the "Klezmer" tradition today. The film will feature interviews with (and music by) a wide range of musicians in Russia (such as the St. Petersburg band Naekhovichi and the Muscovite solo performer Psoi Korolenko), Ukraine, Western Europe, and the U.S. (e.g., Chicago Klezmer and the Timofeyev Ensemble). It will also explore the role archival recordings play as the source for new musical inspirations.
Watch: Preliminary Trailer
* A documentary about Sergei Orekhov, famed virtuoso on the Russian seven-string guitar.
* A documentary on Russian Roma (Gypsy) music, featuring guitarists Alexander Kolpakov and Vadim Kolpakov, two outstanding exponents of the art of playing Russian 7-string guitars in the Roma tradition. It will also feature Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hütz.
