Timeline
Yelizaveta Ignatevna Svilova (Елизаве́та Игна́тьевна Сви́лова, rendered in Latin as Elizaveta Svilova) (5 September 1900, Moscow – 11 November 1975, Moscow) was a Russian filmmaker and film editor.
Yelizaveta Ignatevna Svilova (born Elizaveta Schnitt) was born on September 5, 1900, in Moscow.
Starting at age 14, she began film editing for Pathé.
From 1918 to 1922, she worked at Narkompros.
From 1922, she worked at Goskino.
After her husband fell out of favor in the Soviet film industry, Svilova continued to work in film and supported both of them.
In 1927, he was fired from Sovkino Studio.
She is also known for her documentaries about World War II and for appearing in and editing Man with a Movie Camera (1929).
Their film Man with a Movie Camera (1929) features Svilova editing film and Kaufman filming the movie.
The film is regarded as "a landmark in experimental cinema".
Shortly after Man with a Movie Camera, Kaufman and Vertov had a falling out over artistic differences resulting in the two brothers never working together again.
One suggested reason is prominence of Svilova in the film and her subsequent notoriety.
The trio was known for their avant-garde and futurist ideas.
Vertov's work was condemned for being too formalist and not adhering to the socialist realism expectations of the time.
In the late 1930s, it was nearly impossible for Vertov to find work in the state-run film industry.
She was the director-editor of over 100 documentaries and newsreel episodes from 1939 to 1956.
Following her husband's death, Svilova left the industry.
She carefully watched over her husband's legacy by publishing his writings and cataloging his manuscripts.
Her directorial debut was For You at the Front (1942).
The Fall of Berlin (1945), co directed with Yuli Raziman, won the 1946 Stalin prize.
She covered the opening of Auschwitz in German-occupied Poland by the Red Army in January 1945.
In 1946, her film Fascist Atrocities was used as evidence in the Nuremberg Trials.
She later directed a film about the trials, condemning the warmongering and atrocities present in World War II.
They continued to work together until Vertov's death from stomach cancer in 1954.
Though she began as an editor, Svilova moved away from doing fiction films and onto montage documentary.
She died in 1975 in Moscow and is buried in Novodevichy Cemetery.
She was part of the "Council of Three," with her husband and brother-in-law, cinematographer Mikhail Kaufman.
They were regarded as montage theorists and together, they "proclaimed a 'death sentence' on the cinema that came before, faulting it for mixing in 'foreign matter' from theater and literature."
The group is known for "pioneering montage documentary".
She filmed a documentary, which included reenactments, titled Auschwitz, part of an exhibition titled "Filming the War; the Soviets and the Holocaust (1941-1946)" (9 January 2015 – 27 September 2015) in Paris, France at the Memorial de la Shoah.
