DVD : YOURI NORSTEIN - Masters of Russian Animation

6 films by Youri NORSTEIN (1967 - 1978 / Russia)

Youri Norstein is universally considered the most remarkable director to emerge from the current generation of Russian animators.

Although his completed work is less than 80 minutes in length, its impact has been so profound that he is regularly ranked one of the world’s greatest contemporary directors. Most of his films were made by the same small team : his wife the artist Francesca YARBOUSOVA, his cameraman Alexandre JOUKOVSKI, and the composer M. MEYEROVITCH.
All of the films included in this edition were digitally re-mastered from new 35mm prints under the supervision of JOUKOVSKI and NORSTEIN.
