In 1982, director Vasyl Viter made the first fiction film on videotape in the history of the Soviet cinema. That film was based on the essay by Pavlo Zahrebelnyi “Clarinets of tenderness”. The part of Pavlo Tychyna was played by a young popular theater director Valentyn Kozmenko-Delinde. Nina Matviienko portrayed the mother of the poet. That was her first role in fiction films. She also sang the song “That garden, that night, those stars” with lyrics by Tychyna in the film. Music for the song and for the film was written by the genius Ukrainian composer Oleh Kyva, and later, that music formed the basis for his amazing cantata performed by Kyivska Camerata Ensembel together with Nina Matviienko. Find out about the first love of young Pavlo Tychyna – in the documentary series “The Game of Fate” by VIATEL Studio narrated by Natalka Sopit.
