The Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography ( Russian : Всероссийский государственный институт кинематографии имени С. А. Герасимова , romanized : Vserossiyskiy gosudarstvyennyy institut kinematografii imyeni S. A. Gerasimova , meaning All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography named after S. A. Gerasimov ), a.k.a. VGIK , is a film school in Moscow , Russia . [1] [2]
History
The institute was founded in 1919 by the film director Vladimir Gardin as the Moscow Film School and is the first and oldest film school in the world. [3] From 1934 to 1991 the film school was known as the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography ( Russian : Всесоюзный государственный институт кинематографии ).
Film directors taught at the institute include Lev Kuleshov , Marlen Khutsiev , Aleksey Batalov , Sergei Eisenstein , Mikhail Romm and Vsevolod Pudovkin .
Since 1986, the school has been named after the film director and actor Sergei Gerasimov .
The founding of the institute was authorized by V. I. Lenin in 1919. Its work in the early years was hampered by a shortage of film stock. It has a history as one of the oldest film schools in existence; many film directors have taught at the institute. During the period of the Soviet Union it was a requirement of the state to attend VGIK in order to be allowed to direct a film. [ citation needed ] . More recently, its alumni were drawn both from the USSR (Soviet Union) and from other socialist and other countries, though it was a requirement for students to first learn Russian prior to attending. It is among the few film schools which offer scriptwriting courses. [4]
