ECG Productions is working on a project dedicated to the tour of famous ballerina Anna PAVLOVA in Canada. Anna Pavlova was a Russian prima ballerina during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After attending the Imperial Ballet School, she made her company debut in 1899 and quickly became one of the most famous and influential ballerinas of all time. In the period from 1910 to 1926 she visited our country 10 times. The outstanding dancer performed in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec and Vancouver. In her memoirs, Anna Pavlova described several curious moments that happened during her stay in Canada. Our team was so impressed that we decided to make a film about Anna Pavlova’s visit to Canada. From this film you won’t only learn about prima ballerina’s adventures but also about a legendary dessert “Anna Pavlova”, named after the great dancer. This fluffy cake was invented almost 100 years ago, but even today it is considered one of the most popular treats in the world. Have you tried it?

We already mentioned this year that ECG Productions began filming the documentary “Russian Muses Captivating Canada” dedicated to the tour of composer Sergey Rachmaninov, opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin and ballerina Anna Pavlova in Canada.
In February 2022 we managed to shoot the first “short story” dedicated to Sergey Rachmaninov. Our team got together in the studio and invited renowned clarinetist Julian Milkis and pianist Alexander Levkovich to perform “Vocalise” by Rachmaninoff. Did you know that one of the most famous works in his legacy was written for clarinet and piano?  We recorded amazing interviews with musicians where they shared some fascinating facts about Rachmaninoff and his influence on the world music culture.

We cannot wait to show you the final cut!

Last year, ECG Productions won a grant to produce a new documentary – Russian Muses Captivating Canada. The film is dedicated to the tour of the outstanding Russian artists in Canada such as composer Sergey Rachmaninov, ballerina Anna Pavlova, opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin and their influence on Canadian culture. Our film crew had a chance to spend a few days filming in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Despite the infamous Russian winter we managed to make some amazing footage. Next step will be shooting in Canada!
