Press conference of the film “Sobibor” on the forum and
the exhibition “Cinema Expo 2017” started with an unexpected statement. Long name
the Director of the film about the only successful escape from a concentration camp during the Second
World war II was kept secret. It turned out that the Director of the film was made by Konstantin Khabensky. He also played the main role, that of Lieutenant of the Soviet army
Alexander Pechersky, who managed three weeks in captivity plan
an international uprising of prisoners from Western Europe and Poland.

“We tried not to compete with the paintings of the world
cinema that show all the horrors of war, murder and cruelty, told
Konstantin Khabensky. — We wanted to tell about the people who passed through
sieve the concentration camps, the people next to them breathing death. We wanted to show and
the people on the other side of the fence who understand what is happening around, but not
could do anything”.

In addition, Knightley stressed that “Sobibor” is not
entertaining story, but a tough and emotional movie. But, as in life,
the most difficult moments are interspersed with the less exciting and tense, so
the film has scenes that will make even smile. “A number of episodes of the show
in whatever condition and circumstances, was not a man if he
continuing to joke, he is strong in spirit,” said Constantine.

In the work on the film was attended by actors and
filmmakers from Russia, Lithuania, France, Germany, Poland, and the tape
shot in 5 languages: Russian, Polish, German, Dutch and Yiddish. In
the picture plan to release on the eve of the anniversary of the great
victory.
