Sergei Yutkevich ( Russian Сергей Иосифович Юткевич * December 15 . Jul / 28. December 1904 greg. In St. Petersburg , Russian Empire ; † 23. April 1985 in Moscow , Soviet Union ) was a Soviet film director .
Life
Yutkevich was of Karaic descent. He made his first films as a teenager. At the age of 15, in 1919, together with Grigori Kosinzew, he created the puppet play The Fairy Tale of the Popen and his Servant Balda , which Jutkewitsch directed and for which he made the puppets. In the 1920s he was initially active as a visual artist and worked as a scenographer and, alongside Sergej Eisenstein, also as a costume designer and stage designer.
As a director, he first drew attention to himself with the silent film Spitzen . In 1956 he cast his fellow director Sergei Bondarchuk as Othello . For this film, Jutkewitsch received the Prix International for best director at the Cannes Film Festival in 1956 . At the 1966 Cannes International Film Festival he was able to repeat this success with Lenin in Poland . He made a number of films about Lenin and won international stars such as Marina Vlady for Sujet for a short story and Claude Jade for Lenin in Paris for his later work . For the latter he received the special award in Venice in 1981. Jutkewitsch was the mentor of numerous later successful directors, including Tengis Abuladze and Grigory Chuchrai .
His work as a film theorist is also remarkable, for example he wrote the director's non-fiction book Counterpoint .
