Your Acquaintance is a 1927 Soviet short silent drama film directed by Lev Kuleshov and starring Aleksandra Khokhlova, Pyotr Galadzhev and Yuri Vasilchikov. Only a fragment of the film still survives. The film's art direction was by Vasili Rakhals and Alexander Rodchenko. <SEP> Lev Vladimirovich Kuleshov( – 29 March 1970) was a Russian and Soviet filmmaker and film theorist, one of the founders of the world's first film school, the Moscow Film School. He was given the title People's Artist of the RSFSR in 1969. He was intimately involved in development of the style of film making known as Soviet montage, especially its psychological underpinning, including the use of editing and the cut to emotionally influence the audience, a principle known as the Kuleshov effect. He also developed the theory of creative geography, which is the use of the action around a cut to connect otherwise disparate settings into a cohesive narrative. <SEP> He is considered one of the founding pioneers of the New Hollywood era and one of the most popular directors and producers in film history. Spielberg started in Hollywood directing television and several minor theatrical releases. He became a household name as the director of" Jaws"( 1975), which was critically and commercially successful and is considered the first summer blockbuster. His subsequent releases focused typically on science fiction/ adventure films such as" Close Encounters of the Third Kind"( 1977)," Raiders of the Lost Ark"( 1981)," E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial"( 1982), and" Jurassic Park"( 1993), which became archetypes of modern Hollywood escapist filmmaking. Spielberg transitioned into addressing serious issues in his later work with" The Color Purple"( 1985)," Empire of the Sun"( 1987)," Schindler's List"( 1993)," Amistad"( 1997), and" Saving Private Ryan"( 1998). He has largely adhered to this practice during the 21st century, with" Munich"( 2005)," Lincoln"( 2012)," Bridge of Spies"( 2015), and" The Post"( 2017). He co-founded Amblin Entertainment and DreamWorks Studios, where he has also served as a producer or executive producer for several successful film trilogies, tetralogies and more including the" GremlinsBack to the FutureMen in Black", and the" Transformers" series. He later transitioned into producing several games within the video game industry. Spielberg is one of the American film industry's most critically successful filmmakers, with praise for his directing talent and versatility, and he has won the Academy Award for Best Director twice. Some of his movies are also among the highest- grossing movies of all- time, while his total work makes him the highest- grossing film director in history. Steven Allan Spielberg( born December 18, 1946) is an American filmmaker. His net worth is estimated to be more than$ 3 billion. <SEP> The story involves a panic in the Los Angeles area after the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Although not as financially or critically successful as many of Spielberg's other films, it received belated popularity after an expanded version aired on ABC and its subsequent broadcasts on cable television and home video reissues, raising it to cult status. Co-writer Gale stated the plot is loosely based on what has come to be known as the Great Los Angeles Air Raid of 1942 as well as the bombardment of the Ellwood oil refinery, near Santa Barbara, by a Japanese submarine. Many other events in the film were based on real incidents, including the Zoot Suit Riots and an incident in which the U.S. Army placed an anti-aircraft gun in a homeowner's yard on the Maine coast. 1941 is a 1979 American period war action comedy film directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, and featuring an ensemble cast including Dan Aykroyd, Ned Beatty, John Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Lee, Tim Matheson, Toshiro Mifune, and Robert Stack. <SEP> Jack Shea (August 1, 1928 – April 28, 2013) was an American film and television director.
