Actors - Vladimir Gardin


Vladimir Rostislavovich Gardin (, Moscow — 28 May, 1965, Leningrad) was a pioneering Russian film director and actor who strove to raise the artistic level of Russian cinema.

He first gained renown as a stage actor in the adaptations of Russian classics by Vera Komissarzhevskaya
and other directors. In 1913, he turned to cinema and started producing screen versions of great Russian fiction: Anna Karenina
(1914), The Kreutzer Sonata (1914), War and Peace (1915, co-directed with Yakov Protazanov), Home of the Gentry (1915), and On the Eve (1915).

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, he organized and presided over the first film school in the world, now known as VGIK. With the advent of sound pictures, he stopped directing and returned to acting. His roles won him a high critical acclaim and the title of People's Artist of the USSR (1947). Gardin published two volumes of memoirs in 1949 and 1952. Another book, The Artist's Life and Labor, followed in 1960.
