Dmitri Iwanowitsch Sidorow ( Russian Дмитрий Иванович Сидоров, scientific transliteration Dmitrij Ivanovič Sidorov; born May 17, 1962 in Leningrad , Russian SFSR , Soviet Union ; † March 23, 2016 in Saint Petersburg , Russia ) was a Russian university and professor at the state director of documentaries for film and television Saint Petersburg .

life and work

Dmitry Sidorov studied journalism at Leningrad University from 1979 to 1984. From 1986 he worked initially as an editor of the film journal series "Soviet Russia", since 1988 as a director in the Leningrad documentary film studio. In 1990 he completed a postgraduate course in film directing at the Gerasimow Institute for Cinematography .

During his time as a director at the Saint Petersburg documentary film studio , he made the film Clean Water (1993, original title Чистая Вода , jury prize at the international RIENA festival at UNESCO Paris 1994), which is a parable of social upheaval in Russia. The Serow Brothers (1994, original title Братья Серовы ) portrays the new, post-socialist generation.

From 1995 to 1999 Sidorow worked as a media expert for the EU program TACIS in the then twelve CIS states and Mongolia. As part of this program, over 200 ecological video stores were set up and environmental films were broadcast on 120 television stations. The environmental issue is also reflected in his work as a filmmaker: In 1996 his film Premiere of an Annual Performance (1995, original title Премьера ежегодного спектакля ) received the “Princes' Award” in Copenhagen as the best European environmental documentary.

The film collage Die Biologische Geschichte (original title Биологическая история ) was created in 1997 on behalf of the Hamburg environmental authorities, dealing with totalitarian propaganda and Soviet environmental policy. 

From 1999 to 2002 Sidorow received a scholarship at the State University for Design in Karlsruhe and completed postgraduate studies in film and media art with Professor Hans Beller . The films The Story of Joseph Wolf (2001) and The Willingshäuser (2002) were made in collaboration with the experimental filmmaker Thomas Henke . The latter is part of the permanent exhibition in the Wolfgang Bonhage Museum Korbach .

In 2003 his film Phenomenology of the Human Look (2002, original title Взгляды. Феноменология ) premiered at the Dok Leipzig . The multi-award-winning philosophical film essay uses archive recordings to show the tense relationship between the documentary camera and its object, the filmed person, with their moods: trust - alienation - political staging - fear - renewed trust and again fear of the violence of new mass manipulations using modern media . According to film critic Alexei Gusew, the film must be shown in the first lesson in film schools, as “watch films” and “love the cinema” lessons.

From 2004 to 2015 Dmitry Sidorov was a professor at the State University of Film and Television in Saint-Petersburg. According to the master class principle, he accompanied two years of documentary film directing students for five years each from the entrance examination to the diploma.

Sidorov's film За счастьем (2014, freely translated In Search of Happiness ), co-directed with Svetlana Demidova, won the 2015 Pawel Kogan Prize at the St. Petersburg documentary film festival “Message to Man”. The film portrays a family who withdrew to the foothills of the Caucasus almost 30 years ago and there, initially unnoticed, is overtaken by the war in Ukraine.
