Domi in the Movies
Friday, 4. August 2006, 10:43:30
A while back, a good friend and colleague Ivan Kuznetsov got me in contact with Alexander Savin, a filmmaker and friend of his. Alex, working for the finish company Karisma Films was scriptwriter and operator for the movie "Leijonan sydän", and after hearing Domi wanted to know if he could use some of our music for the movie. I thought this was a great idea, so naturally Domi agreed!The movie is now done, and Ivan wrote some about this movie which was filmed in his home town of Tampere:
Can't wait to get my copy, I do hope there are English subtitles as I am rather low on local Finish friends at the moment. The Domi songs used in the movie were the classic The Shepherd and an old ballad called Away From Home. You can see a trailer of the movie here."Leijonan sydän" tells about a teenager Leo (played by Markus Kosonen, who is also a producer of this movie). Leo is really passionate about hockey and wants to dedicate his life to it. But eventually he finds himself playing at the expense of school, relationships with his girlfriend Jonna (played by Irina Ritvanen) and health.
It is a movie about growing up, learning to make important decisions yourslef, friendship and love. Good humor, dynamic and realistic sports filming, philosophical dialogs, make this movie worth watching.

After "Leijonan Sydän" was played in Plevna and Niagara movie theaters in Tampere, rights for TV presentation were sold to YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) for the next ten years, so you have a pretty good chance to see it on TV.

I'd love to see the movie...
But, since when is 'The Shepherd" a classic? So it kinda was an instant-classic!

Sorry guys, no english subtitles yet :) This is why we still haven't send you your copies. (It is surprisingly hard and painfull process to get those subtitles in the movie, especially if the movie actually consists of dialogs.) Err, anyway, we're planning to make official dvd in September/October (with or without official dvd distributer), which will include the movie, making-of bonus, and english subtitles as well. So, stay tuned! :)

In the world we found a number of towns and other objects, named to Plevna - Russian name of Pleven and in connection with Russian Turkish war 1877 – 1878.
You are invited to add all facts you know in this connection!
Thank you in advance!
