Grigori Mikhaylovich Kozintsev (Russian: ????????? ??????????? ?????????; Kiev, 22 March [O.S. 9 March] 1905 – Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg, 11 May 1973) was a Jewish Ukrainian, Soviet Russian theatre and film director. He was named People's Artist of the USSR in 1964. In 1965 he was a member of the jury at the 4th Moscow International Film Festival. Two years later he was a member of the jury of the 5th Moscow International Film Festival. In 1971 he was the President of the Jury at the 7th Moscow International Film Festival.He studied in the Imperial Academy of Arts. As a theatre director he was part of Eccentricism, a modernist avant garde movement that spanned Russian futurism and constructivism, which included the theatre of Vsevolod Meyerhold and Sergei Eisenstein. Kozintsev contributed the "Salvation in the Trousers" section to the Eccentric Manifesto, published on 9 July 1922 (the other contributors were Leonid Trauberg, Sergei Yutkevich and Georgii Kryzhitskii) and was involved with the Factory of the Eccentric Actor group. Some of his early films were launched under the FEKS label.He began making films in 1921. His silent features, including The Overcoat (1926) and The New Babylon (1929), had a ring of Expressionism, while the early sound film Alone (1931) used experimental montage sound techniques. Kozintsev is most renowned by his adaptations of William Shakespeare (King Lear and Hamlet) and Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote.
"The Youth of Maxim" (1935) details the conversion of an ignorant factory worker into a revolutionary in the years 1905-1907. The film, as was part of a series, was meant to make Bolshevism attractive, and it engendered censorship controversies when it was released in the U.S. The police commissioner of Detroit, Michigan, acting as censor, banned the film as being "pure Soviet propaganda and likely to instill class hatred of the existing government and social order of the United States." When the ban was challenged in the local courts, it was upheld on the principle that motion picture exhibitors were constitutionally bound to eschew showing films that were either "obscene" or "immoral."
