Pavel Kadochnikov

Soviet actor, film director and screenwriter (1915-1988)

Pavel Kadochnikov is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Pavel Kadochnikov as Soviet actor, film director and screenwriter (1915-1988).

Pavel Kadochnikov was born at Saint Petersburg in 1915. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Russian State Institute of Performing Arts.

The studio system was at its height in this period: contracts were long, the output was industrial, and a handful of studios decided who worked.

The record gives his roles in the industry as actor, film director and screenwriter.

A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

The awards record reads: Order of Lenin (1985), Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1967) and Order of Friendship of Peoples (1975).

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.

Pavel Kadochnikov died in 1988, aged 73. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
