Biography

Aleksandr Sokurov was born in Russia in 1951. He studied History and trained until 1979 as a director at the Moscow Film School VGIK. His graduation film "The Lonely Voice of Man" (1987) was neither officially accepted by the school, nor given the right to be shown – as was the case with all of his films until the democratic reforms in the mid to late 80s -, but did win a Bronze Leopard at Locarno. In 2000, he founded the studio Bereg for non-commercial feature and documentary films.

 

Sokurov has made numerous prize-winning feature films and documentaries, including: "Painful Indifference" (1987), "Days of Eclipse" (1988), "Elegy from Russia" (documentary, 1992), "Mother and Son" (1997), "Moloch" (1998), "Taurus" (2001) "Russian Ark" (2002), and "Father and Son" (2003), among others.
