Gennady Khazanov

Soviet and Russian actor and comedian

Gennady Khazanov worked in film at a period when the medium itself was still changing shape.

The record lists Gennady Khazanov as Soviet and Russian actor and comedian.

Gennady Khazanov was born at Moscow in 1945. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at State School of Circus and Variety Arts.

This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.

The record gives his roles in the industry as actor, stage actor and performance artist.

The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.

The awards record reads: Order of Friendship.

That the work was made from Russia shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
