Biography
Alexander Sokurov (b. 1951, Podorvikha, USSR), director and cameraman, studied history before moving on to documentary film at Moscow’s VGIK (1974–79). His documentaries and dramas, employing an inventive aesthetic form to ponder key moments in human life and in modern history, are regularly awarded at world festivals. Many of his works have been presented at Karlovy Vary, including a 1997 retrospective entitled Alexander Sokurov: A Spiritual Voice from Russia. His latest film Faust, awarded the Golden Lion last year at Venice, culminates Sokurov’s tetralogy on the nature of power which began with Moloch (1999), an intimate portrait of Adolf Hitler, followed by a study of dictator Lenin’s mental illness in Taurus (Telets, 2001) and The Sun (Solntse, 2005), an evocation of Japanese Emperor Hirohito’s spiritual mood at the end of the Second World War.
