Feel Films Announces Filming Date for 'The Song of Names' Feature Film

Feel Films announces that The Song Of Names, penned by The Constant Gardener screenwriter Jeffrey Caine, adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by Norman Lebrecht and directed by multi-award winning François Girard begins shooting in London tomorrow.

The brilliant Tim Roth and Clive Owen will star alongside Catherine McCormack in a heart-wrenching tale of friendship, faith, betrayal and classical music – with a score by none other than legendary Oscar-winning Lord Of The Rings composer Howard Shore.

The film is produced by Feel Films’ Nick Hirschkorn alongside Robert Lantos and Lyse Lafontaine, with Viktoria Petranyi co-producing. Mark Musselman, Peter Touche and Stephen Spence are exec producing.

Feel producer Nick Hirschkorn has been “obsessed with telling the story of The Song of Names ever since I read Norman Lebrecht’s remarkable debut novel fifteen years ago. To be finally bringing it to the screen with such a talented team of collaborators, all bound by a shared passion for this epic and timeless tale, feels like a dream come true.”

“Friendship, brotherhood, betrayal and redemption […] This is the remarkable cinematic journey of The Song Of Names, which brings us back to the darkest page of the Twentieth Century’s history”, says director François Girard. “Walking the grounds of the Treblinka Memorial, I found my true motivation for this project. I am committed to making my small contribution to the fight against historical amnesia.”

The Song Of Names will shoot in London, Budapest, Treblinka, Montreal and New York and is set up as a co-production between Serendipity Point Films, Lyla Films and Proton Cinema, produced in association with Feel Films, Telefilm Canada, SODEC and Hanway Films. Hanway Films is handling Worldwide Sales and Elevation Pictures will distribute in Canada.
