Mini Biography

Burdened with Russia’s most common name (Ivanov = Jones), Aleksandr Ivanovich Ivanov-Gai differentiated himself from the hyphenated “Gai.” Hence he shouldn’t be baffled with another Russian movie director, Aleksandr Gavrilovich Ivanov [qv] (1898-1984), who was simply not hyphenated rather than related! Ivanov-Gai originally gained his living as an ace paper reporter in Moscow before and following the turn from the 20th hundred years. For the reason that capitalist business, like US mass media reporters today, Ivanov-Gai discovered to keep an eye on sensational stories whenever you can. So when he turned from print mass media to film (beginning at 1908 on the Hanzhonkov Studio room in Moscow), Ivanov-Gai frequently dealt with topical ointment, even spicy components that grabbed open public interest. Among his “popular topics” had been “When the Beast Awakens” (“THE 3RD Gender”) and “The Yellow Solution”, both movies dating from 1916-17. Ivanov-Gai’s general film directing profession, which lasted from 1912 (“The In-Law”) to 1925 (“Wife from the Rev-Com-Mgr”), before and following the Russian Trend, led to appx. total 30 movies, 26 pre-Revolutionary, 4 post-. Of these 30, only an extremely small number have already been maintained. Through the Soviet (Communist) period, the trustworthiness of pre-Communist Ivanov-Gai proceeded to go into a significant decrease. He was considered industrial, plot-oriented, plodding and unimaginative, not really artistic or innovative. And for most decades, nearly the just Gai-directed film considered worthy of point out by Soviet film historians appeared to be “Czar Ivan the Terrible” (’15-’16). That exclusion was barely surprising, as the film was maintained, it starred a world-famous opera vocalist, Chaliapin Sr. (who got the respect of Soviet social historians), and as the film produced from traditional Russian music and books (Rimsky-Korsakov and Mei). In Russia’s post-Communist, semi-capitalist period (1992- ), it’ll be interesting to find out whether Ivanov-Gai’s one-time standing up as an extremely successful industrial film movie director in the pre-Communist years will ever become restored…
