As I know, Norstein didn't studied in VGIK

Naming[edit]

- I think this page should be named VGIK not Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. Nobody I know in Moscow refers to it by the Gerasimov name, everyone just talks about VGIKJphollow (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

VGIK is little too Short. "Cinematography" is not a correct translation. In Russian "Cinematography" means filmmaking, art of motion pictures. In English "Cinematography" means camera work, cameraman job. The school is much more than that. There are many other departments such as Acting, Directing, Producing, Art Directing, Screen Writing. Allso "All-Russian" in English sounds awkward - it should be "national". So the school should be just called

"Gerasimov National University of Motion Pictures (VGIK)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.29.32.233 (talk) 04:28, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right: "Cinematography" is not a correct translation. In Russian "Cinematography" means filmmaking, art of motion pictures. In English

"Cinematography" has a narrower meaning: cameraman's craft. Chelentano (talk) 02:05, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Gerasimov National University of Motion Pictures (VGIK)" is a pretty good translation. Chelentano (talk) 02:07, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Their website gives "Russian State University of Cinematography named after S.Gerasimov" as an official translation. 152.97.134.72 (talk) 03:21, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Albania WikiProject[edit]

I am adding Albania WikiProject to this task page. Indeed I would like this page to be tracked and cared for by the Albanian Task Force, as well as by the other ones, as all the best Albanian directors were formed in this great school. --Sulmues ^(talk) 20:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
