DDT XX CENTURY. A FILM BY SERGEI KUZNETSOV. SCOTTISH PREMIERE
On 24 November, Glasgow will host a special screening of DDT XX Century, an independent musical feature film by director Sergei Kuznetsov, inspired by the songs of Yuri Shevchuk and DDT.
DDT is one of the most significant bands in Russian rock, while its founder, songwriter and frontman Yuri Shevchuk has long been regarded as one of the country’s most distinctive anti-establishment voices. His songs have repeatedly explored war, society, personal responsibility and the relationship between the individual and the state.
The film tells the story of twentieth-century Russia – from the First World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union – through the fate of one family and some of DDT’s defining songs. Characters from the songs come to life on screen, while dramatic scenes are interwoven with documentary footage, rare archival material and animation. Each chapter has its own distinctive visual language.
Kuznetsov describes the film as a journey “from Malevich’s Black Square to DDT’s Black Dog Petersburg”. More than a music film, it is an attempt to understand a country through its history, cultural memory, personal and collective responsibility, and the experience of several generations. Yuri Shevchuk himself says that the film is not so much about DDT, or about him personally, as it is about Russia – its people, its history and its contradictions.
