"We love, we remember Sergey Alexandrovich. Everything that happens these days at the festival is one way or another connected with him. We watch his films. Here are his students. Photos are presented, his stories are on the screen - about himself, about childhood, his life, You can listen to his master class. We hear his voice. No one will tell about him the way he did, a great storyteller. I know some of his tales by heart, but it is impossible to repeat them the way he told," concluded Maria Zvereva .
As the daughter of Sergei Solovyov, composer Anna Drubich (a member of the jury of the Russian competition), said, opening the exhibition, only a small part of the huge collection is presented here. “Father was very seriously engaged in photography, she was interested in him no less than cinema. As far as I can remember, he always had a camera in his hands. He shot some interiors, streets, houses, porches, just beautiful walls, beautiful women ... Here and work made on the phone, which he then processed on the computer," the director's daughter said.
Anna Drubich thanked the organizers of the film forum for the memory of her father and stressed: "The Spirit of Fire festival was very important to him - his brainchild, the people with whom he worked."
