Georgi Vasilyev and Sergei Vasilyev

Died in 1946

Georgi Vasilyev (1899-1946), born in Vologda, and Sergei Vasilyev (1900-1959), born in Moscow, were not related: brought together in the mid-1920s in the same cutting room, they signed their work jointly under this common name. They first re-edited foreign films for the Soviet public, then directed a first film in 1928, a documentary, before moving on to fiction. The former died on 18 June 1946, the latter on 16 December 1959.
