Dimitri Kirsanoff (Russian: Дими́трий Кирса́нов) (6 March 1899 – 11 February 1957) was an early filmmaker, considered part of the French Impressionist movement in film. He is known for his inexpensively made experimental films.[1]

Early life

Kirsanoff was born Markus David Sussmanovitch Kaplan (Маркус Давид Зусманович Каплан)[2] in Tartu (then Juryev), Estonia, then Russian Empire in 1899. In the early 1920s he moved to Paris and became involved in cinema through playing cello in the orchestra at showings.[3] He began making films on his own, and never worked with a production company.[1]
