The soundtrack for the film "Sunless City" (2006) with Sergey Bezrukov playing the main part of a photographer who is dying of AIDS. The film crew decided to engage the leader of Vermicelli Orchestra Sergey Schurakov, who is known by general public for his unions with Boris Grebenschikov, Sergey Kuryokhin, Leonid Fedorov, Andrey "Dyusha" Romanov, Maxim Leonidov. The movie creators took the music of his group as a distinctive symbol of St. Petersburg, which can also be understood as a film character. "We wanted to supplement the image with contrapuntal music, which could bring some hope to the harsh footage," says the film director Sergey Potyomkin, "Radiant and positive compositions by Sergey Schurakov and Vermicelli Orchestra added a necessary portion of optimism to my film." The disk contains 18 tracks - this is the number of musical themes written by the group during the six-month work on the soundtrack - and also two videoclips. Music for the film "Sunless City" got the first prize on the international film festival "The Young and Cinema" at Koszalin, Poland (2006). A year after the premiere Sergey Schurakov died of peritonitis at the age of 47.
