Dimitri Kirsanoff

Highest Rated: 100% Ménilmontant (1926)

Lowest Rated: 100% Ménilmontant (1926)

Birthday: Mar 6, 1899

Birthplace: Tartu, Estonia

After emigrating to France in 1923, Kirsanoff was at the forefront of Parisian avant-garde filmmaking thanks to works such as "Menilmontant" (1924), which combined Soviet-style montage with hand-held camerawork and lyrically composed static shots. His early silent films, many starring first wife Nadia Sibirskaia, are considered his best works. With the coming of sound the quality of his output declined, though he continued to direct commercial ventures into the 1950s. His second marriage was to editor Monique Kirsanoff.
