Ali Khamraev

Ali Khamraev was born on 19 May 1937 in Tashkent, to a Tajik father and a Ukrainian mother. A graduate in 1961 of the Moscow film school, where he was a pupil of Grigori Roshal, he joined the Uzbekistan studio straight away. He has directed more than twenty feature films and about thirty documentaries, in almost every genre, from the western to the parable, and an American critic called him by far the most flamboyant of the filmmakers of the region. State Prize winner in 1971, he has lived in Italy since 1988.
