"900 Days" by Jan Wilson
 

Picture
"900 Days" is a feature length screenplay based on actual events set in blockaded Leningrad, Russia in 1941.  Dmitri is a polio-stricken young man struggling to find his own way to contribute to the war effort.  The citizens have no food, no heat, no clean water -- but they do have their art, their literature, their music.  This keeps them going.  Dmitri strives to get a private audience with composer Shostakovich for Marina, the woman he loves, so she can hear his Seventh Symphony, but in the besieged city severe hunger and below freezing temperatures make even the simplest tasks impossible.

Drama, 111 pages.  

This script was a semifinalist in the 
Nicholl's Fellowship (top 3%), semifinalist in the Austin Heart of Film Screenwriting Contest, and a Top Ten Finalist in the American Zoetrope screenwriting contest, judged by Francis Ford Coppola.  See the Variety article.
