Alexei Stanislavowitsch Fedorschenko ( Russian Алексей Станиславович Федорченко ; born September 29, 1966 in Sol-Ilezk ) is a Russian film director, screenwriter and film producer.

Life

Alexei Fedorschenko attended the Polytechnic Institute of the Urals in Sverdlovsk , where he studied at the faculties of engineering and economics. After graduating in 1988, he worked as an industrial engineer in a factory in Sverdlovsk. Fedorschenko came into contact with film in 1990 when he got a job as a senior economist at the Sverdlovsk film studios founded in 1943 . There he rose to head the production department of the film studio for the next ten years and was involved in the production of numerous films and news reports.

Parallel to his work as a film and television producer, Fedorschenko attended the Moscow Film School WGIK , where he trained as a screenwriter from 1998 to 2000. His first film work began in the late 1990s. After the documentary David (2002), which was produced in Stockholm, Sweden and Lublin , Poland , Fedorschenko contributed the script for Igor Voloshin's short film Ochota na saizew in 2003 . His international breakthrough as a filmmaker came in 2005 with his feature film debut First on the Moon ( Perwyje na Lune ). The fictional documentary film about a Russian moon landing in 1938 received several international festival awards, including the documentary film award in the Orizzonti section of the Venice International Film Festival .

In 2007, Fedortschenko's second feature-length film followed with Schelesnaja doroga . The work, located somewhere between drama and comedy, focuses on two friends who steal a coal wagon from a railway museum in order to sell it later. Three years later, Fedorschenko received another invitation to the Venice Film Festival for the feature film Stille Seelen (2010; Russian title: Ovsjanki ) , this time in the competition for the Golden Lion . The story of two men who, according to a custom of the Finnish-Ugric people of the Merja, perform the ritual burial of a woman, met with critical acclaim. Silent souls was considered one of the favorites for the main prize and won, among other things, the FIPRESCI prize and the award for the best camera work.
