Mini-Biography:

Biographical Notes in German: Eigentlich Mikhail Kalatozishvili, in Tiflis gebürtiger georgischer Filmemacher, der als einer der bedeutendsten russischen Regisseure gilt. Kurz nach der Oktoberrevoltion engagierte sich Kalatozov in den Filmstudios von Tiflis und arbeitete sich vom Lastwagenfahrer durch alle Studiojobs bis zum Kameramann hoch. Seine frühen dokumentarischen Arbeiten als Regisseur und Kameramann wie etwa der 1930 entstandene Dokumentarfilm "Sol' Svanetii" (Salz von Svanetien) bestechen auch heute noch durch ihre ausdricksstarke Bildsprache.
Obwohl einige seiner Filme wegen "formalistischer Exzesse" in der stalinistischen Epoche als verfehmt galten, konnte Kalatozov weitgehend ungehindert weiterarbeiten und bekleidete sogar während einiger Jahren hohe Regierungsämter. Nach Stalins Tod entstanden einige seiner bedeutendsten Filme: Sein Spielfilm "Wenn die Kraniche ziehen" gilt als der russische Film der sogenannten Tauwetter-Periode unter Nikita Khrushchev. Internationale Anerkennung erhielt Kalatazov auch mit seinen späteren Filmen "Soy Cuba" (auf Cuba gedreht) und "Krasnaya palatka", einer Co-Produktion mit Italien. Für manche Kenner gilt der 1960 entstandene Film "Neotpravlennoje Pismo" (Der Brief der nie abgesandt wurde) als sein filmisches Vermächtnis. (lhg 2011)
