Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko belongs to the record of cinema as a figure whose work outlasted the productions that carried it.
The record lists Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko as Russian theatre director (1858-1943).
Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko was born at Ozurgeti in 1858. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Lomonosov Moscow State University.
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.
The record gives his roles in the industry as dramaturge, director and theatre critic.
Film is a collaborative art in which individual credit is always contested and occasionally deserved.
The awards record reads: Order of Lenin, Order of the Red Banner of Labour and Order of the Red Eagle.
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 Nemirovich-Danchenko died in 1943, aged 85. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
