In the history of cinema, Vladimir Gardin is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Vladimir Gardin as Russian and Soviet actor, film director and screenwriter (1877–1965).
Vladimir Gardin was born at Tver in 1877. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Second Moscow Cadet Corps and Kyiv Infantry engineering cadet school.
This was the silent era, when film was still proving it could carry a story at all and performers had to do it without a spoken word.
Vladimir Gardin is credited as film director, screenwriter and military personnel.
Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.
Formal recognition came in the shape of the Order of the Badge of Honour (1939) and Order of the Red Banner of Labour (1950).
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.
Vladimir Gardin died in 1965, aged 88. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
