Guitarists to play soundtrack live

Slava and Leonard Grigoryan

Acclaimed guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan have expanded their creative output by crafting and recording the soundtrack to the award-winning movie A Boy Called Sailboat.

The heart-warming movie filmed in New Mexico was written and developed by Melbourne-based creative team Cameron Nugent and Andrew Curry.

It will be screened at Avoca Beach Theatre on August 9, with the guitarists playing the soundtrack live.

Sailboat brings love and hope to a family who have forged a simple but proud life in the drought-stricken Deep South.

One afternoon he brings home a little guitar and when his ill grandmother asks him to write a song for her, he delivers the greatest song ever written.

The Latin-themed soundtrack is a key element to the movie and provided an opportunity for audiences to hear the Grigoryan brothers like never before.

The movie screens at 7.30pm on Friday, August 9, at Avoca Beach Theatre and will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s writer/director/editor Cameron Nugent.
