Sergei Yursky is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Sergei Yursky as Soviet and Russian stage and film actor, theatre director and screenwriter (1935-2019).
Sergei Yursky was born at Saint Petersburg in 1935. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Ostrovsky Leningrad Theatre Institute and Faculty of Law, Saint Petersburg State University.
This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.
Sergei Yursky is credited as actor, theatre director and film director.
A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Order of Honour (1995).
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.
Sergei Yursky died in 2019, aged 84. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
