Stravinsky: Once at a Border...

Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the San Francisco Film Festival, this autobiographical film about one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century includes documents, photographs and previously unseen film. Stravinsky's three surviving children talk about their father, with contributions from the late Madame Vera Stravinsky, music associate Robert Craft, Marie Rambert, Balanchine, Nadia Boulanger and many friends. Featuring 'Les Noces' and 'Petrushka' and finally, priceless footage of Stravinsky himself. "A wholly wonderful programme...filled with the sense of Stravinsky as man and musician, above all as Russian and believer" - Paul Griffiths, The Times.
