Georgiy Daneliya is a Soviet/Georgian/Russian film director, who became known throughout the Soviet Union for his "sad comedies". Daneliya graduated from the Moscow Architecture Institute and worked as an architect. In 1956, he entered the Higher Director’s Courses at the Mosfilm Studio where his teachers were Mikhail Romm, Sergei Yutkevich, Leonid Trauberg, Yuli Raizman, and Mikhail Kalatozov. His 1964 feature I Step Through Moscow, starring Nikita Mikhalkov, is one of the most characteristic films of the Khrushchev Thaw. Among Daneliya's most popular movies are Mimino, about a Georgian pilot's adventures in Moscow, and The Autumn Marathon, about a translator vacillating between his wife and mistress. Mimino won the Golden Prize at the 10th Moscow International Film Festival. In 1986 he directed a sci-fi film, Kin-dza-dza!. In 1976, he was a member of the jury at the 26th Berlin International Film Festival. Most of his films featured his then-wife Lyubov Sokolova, whom the Guinness Book of Records cites as the most prolific film actress, and his friend Yevgeny Leonov. Daneliya was named a People's Artist of the USSR in 1990.
