Grigori Kozintsev (1905-1973), born in Kiev, founded with Leonid Trauberg the Factory of the Eccentric Actor, a group that imposed on performers a style close to circus and music-hall. The two men co-directed silent and then sound films, including a trilogy of the 1930s about a young worker. After the end of this collaboration, he worked alone, brought Shakespeare to the screen, taught directing and wrote about cinema. He died in Leningrad in 1973.
