Comment

Commemorative coin is dedicated to a famous Ukrainian film studio that, throughout its history, has produced a lot of popular motion pictures. The Odesa Film Studio was born out of the merger of several private film production companies in 1919 (Myrograph (1907), Mizrah (1914), Borysov Film Factory, and Kharytonov Film Factory). The Odesa Film Studio was where Oleksandr Dovzhenko directed his first movies (Zvenyhora, Arsenal), Les Kurbas directed The Swedish Match, Ivan Kavaleridze directed The Downpour, Kira Muratova debuted as an actress and director, and actresses Maria Zankovetska and Nataliia Uzhvii, actor Hnat Yura, and many others worked. The Odesa Film Studio has been the favorite place of work of a plethora of world-famous directors. The studio has rolled out more than 300 motion pictures and constructed over 1,500 movie sets for films that were popular in the former USSR, including The Prisoner of Chateau d’If, The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed, In Search for Captain Grant, And Then There Were None, The Green Wagon, D’Artagnan and Three Musketeers and more.
