Grigory Kozintsev

Born: 22 March 1905 in Kiev, Ukraine
Died: 11 May 1973 in Leningrad, Soviet Union/St. Petersburg, now Russia

Born in 1905 in Kiev, Ukraine, Grigori Kozintsev started to make films after his studies at Imperial Academy of Arts in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). In 1921 together with Leonid Trauberg he founded The Factory of the Eccentric Actor (FEKS). Rooted in the Soviet avant-gard of the 1920s, his first silent feature films "The Overcoat" (1926) and "New Babylon" (1929, collaborated with Leonid Trauberg) have a clear sign of the influance of expressionism. The collaboration with Trauberg continued also at "Plain People" (1945), post-war drama, which was banned by government and only realeased in middle 50s. After being obliged to make political compromises they split up and G. Kozintsev started his solo director carreer, focusing on film adaptations of literary classics. His adaptation of "Don Quixote" (1957) is considered by some the most innovative cinema version of the classic text. Internationally famous bacame also his Shakespearean adaptations, "Hamlet" (1964) and "King Lear" (1970). He was also an author, dramatist, art theoretician and lecturer at the Moscow Film School (VGIK) and the Leningrad Studios.
