Anatoly Nikolaievich Eiramdzhan (sometimes Eiramjan; Russian: Анатолий Николаевич Эйрамджан, Armenian: Անատոլի Նիկողայոսի Էյրամջյան; January 3, 1937 – September 23, 2014) was a Russian-Armenian film director, writer and producer.
[1] His wife, Oksana Shagdar (educated as engineer-programmer) is assistant of movie director, photographer, make-up artist, actress.
Her last film work, cameraman in the video for the song "Charmed, Enchanted" for famous Russian singer Mikhail Zvezdinsky.
In 1972 he completed a three-year program at the Screenplay branch of the High Course of Scriptwriters and Movie Directors (conducted by Iosif Olshansky).
The name of Anatoly Eiramdzhan is well known to the Russian cinematographer, films directed by himself or other directors based on his scripts are still popular.
He demonstrated and proved the possibility of the existence in Russia of an independent low-budget commercial cinema that can survive.
Eiramdzhan's films consistently receive very high ratings and have large theater and TV audiences.
Around 15 scripts for films, the libretto of the musical "His Majesty's Occasion" (based on the biography of the great writer O. Henry) and the theater play "Lyosha is to Blame in All", written in the last years of his life, remained as unfulfilled projects.
Despite numerous attempts, I never managed to publish a single positive paragraph about Eiramdzhan's movie in the cinematic press, although some films and some techniques of the master have always caused me admiration.
(Igor Mantsov)Weekly newspaper "Ether" (Armenia): The audience loves the comedies of Anatoly Eiramjan and praises them.
cinematographer of the decade (i.e. 1990s), a true knight of low-budget cinema, who on scanty money in a situation of complete collapse of the film industry managed to give out one movie farce after another and in which only the lazy person did not spit.
