Pavel Klushantsev

Soviet film director (1910–1999)

In the history of cinema, Pavel Klushantsev is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Pavel Klushantsev as Soviet film director (1910–1999).

Pavel Klushantsev was born at Saint Petersburg in 1910. His recorded nationality is Russia.

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 film director, film producer and screenwriter.

Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.

The awards record reads: Order of the Badge of Honour.

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 Klushantsev died in 1999, aged 89. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
