YOUNG OLEXANDER KORNIYCHUK: SCREENWRITER AND FILM DIRECTOR (1929–1934)

For the first time, the cinematographic heritage of the 1920s by Ukrainian comedian Oleksandr Korniychuk (1905–1972) was comprehensively considered, and an attempt to create a new historical and cultural optics in considering the creative heritage of Soviet playwrights and cinematographers of official ideological orientation was proposed. The degree of importance of studying the author's compositional architecture of the «big mute» at the Odessa and Kyiv film studios in deepening the elucidation of the dramatic principles of Korniychuk's stage work is shown.
