Decrease in Film Releases According to Alexander Adabasyan
In the world of Russian cinema and theater, Alexander Adabashyan is a name that resonates with passion, creativity, and a lifelong dedication to the arts. As he turns 80, he views this milestone not as a cause for fear, but as a significant date worth celebrating.
Adabashyan's friendship with Nikita Mikhalkov, another octogenarian this year, dates back to their teenage years. They first met through a mutual acquaintance at a dacha on Nikulino Hill, and their shared interests in the film industry have led to a fruitful collaboration spanning several decades.
Their shared history of aspirations in the arts is evident in their joint works, such as co-authoring several films and Adabashyan's role as the author of the script for the upcoming film "The Fate of the Drummer." Based on Arkady Gaidar's story, this teenage film is a detective story seen through a child's eyes, featuring a main character who becomes a hero in a wonderfully constructed plot.
Beyond "The Fate of the Drummer," Adabashyan has a diverse portfolio in cinema. He has acted in films like "Slave of Love" and "Five Evenings," and has contributed to production design in films such as "Five Evenings," based on Aleksandr Volodin’s play.
Adabashyan's collaborative relationship with Anna Chernyakova, a constant co-author, is also evident in projects like "Dog's Paradise," where he was the screenwriter and also acted in this drama directed by Chernyakova.
In addition to his work in cinema, Adabashyan is also known for his theater productions. This year, he staged a production of Dostoevsky's "Poor People" at the Sergei Obraztsov Puppet Theater.
Despite turning 80, Adabashyan remains passionate about his work. He sailed with his family to Valamo and Kizhi on a ship for his birthday this year, taking a break from his busy schedule to enjoy a well-deserved vacation.
Adabashyan's career in the arts is a testament to his unconventional and multifaceted approach to film and theater. From his early days as an apprentice to Andrei Mikhalkov to his current role as a respected author and actor, Adabashyan continues to make significant contributions to the world of Russian cinema and theater.
