Biography

Anatoly Nikolaievich Eiramdzhan (sometimes Eiramjan; Russian: Анатолий Николаевич Эйрамджан, Armenian: Անատոլի Նիկողայոսի Էյրամջյան; January 3, 1937 – September 23, 2014) was a Russian-Armenian film director, writer and producer. He was the creator of the first commercial film in the USSR and the author of humorous stories and sketches.

He began his film career in the 1970s as a screenwriter. In 1989 Eiramdzhan began shooting films from his own scripts. In 1992 he founded New Odeon film studio, having become a director, screenwriter and producer of his films. He was compared to Ed Wood for shooting films quickly and cheaply. At the same time, his achievements include the fact that he made many films in the conditions of the decline of the film industry in Russia in the 90s and gave many film actors the opportunity to work in their specialty. Eiramdzhan was born in 1937 in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR.

His father was Nikolay Nikolaevich Ter-Grigoryan, an accomplished teacher of music and the piano.

Anatoly Eiramdzhan's mother, whose surname was taken by Anatoly, was Arevik Nikitichna Eiramdzhan – the grand daughter of the famous Armenian writer Ghazaros Aghayan (1840–1911).

He is cousin of composer and musical and public figure Eduard Khagogortian. Nephew of painter Martiros Saryan.

His wife, Oksana Shagdar (educated as engineer-programmer) is assistant of movie director, photographer, make-up artist, actress. Her last film work, cameraman in the video for the song "Charmed, Enchanted" for famous Russian singer Mikhail Zvezdinsky.

In 1961 Eiramdzhan graduated from the Azerbaijan Institute of Oil and Chemistry.

In 1972 he completed a three-year program at the Screenplay branch of the High Course of Scriptwriters and Movie Directors (conducted by Iosif Olshansky). After graduating he began writing movie scripts.

Eiramdzhan was also the author of short comic stories. He was honored as the winner of the prestigious "Golden Calf Award" from the Russian Literaturnaya Gazeta for 1972 — 1973.

In 1989 Eiramdzhan began producing films from his own scripts. He was created the film studio "New Odeon" in Moscow in 1992 by Eiramdzhan to focus on creating low budget comedies. He also took on the responsibilities of screenwriter, art director and film director. During his career at film studio "New Odeon", Eiramdzhan was responsible for the creation of 22 films.

In 1995 the publishing house Author, Inc. of Moscow published Eiramdzhan's first book, titled "The Ladies' Man and Other Comedy Films". The book includes comedy movie scripts.

In 1997, the film "The Impotent Man" was awarded the Award "Golden Demetra" at the Yalta International Film Festival, whose presidents were Emil Loteanu and Vladimir Motyl.

In 2006 the publishing house Golos-Press published his second book, titled "From Everyone One Thread".

In 2012 the publishing house Golos-Press published the third book, titled "The Shirt for Naked". Artwork of the book — artist Vagrich Bakhchanyan. The book includes stories, novels, scripts, plays — stories about cinema and for cinema. All of them are written with subtle humor, beautiful Russian language, with love for the heroes of these works. Recently, such books are very rare in Russian literature.

In 2014 the publishing house Golos-Press published the 4-th book, titled "Where is Nophelet and something else...".

The book includes stories, novels, screenplays — stories about cinema and for cinema.

Anatoly Eiramdzhan: "Where... and something else". Firstly, because in addition to the script "Where is Nophelet", I placed two more scripts written relatively recently in the book. In "somethings else" include stories, entertaining stories "about cinema and for cinema", which I hope will be interesting to my readers.

Since 2003 Eiramdzhan lived and worked in Miami, FL with his wife Oksana Shagdar and his son Koka (Nikolay).

The name of Anatoly Eiramdzhan is well known to the Russian cinematographer, films directed by himself or other directors based on his scripts are still popular. He demonstrated and proved the possibility of the existence in Russia of an independent low-budget commercial cinema that can survive. All the films of Anatoly Eiramdzhan are not similar to either Soviet or post-Soviet comedies, they have an author's face. Eiramdzhan's films consistently receive very high ratings and have large theater and TV audiences.

Around 15 scripts for films, the libretto of the musical "His Majesty's Occasion" (based on the biography of the great writer O. Henry) and the theater play "Lyosha is to Blame in All", written in the last years of his life, remained as unfulfilled projects. Many of these scripts are published in the latest books of the writer and filmmaker.

Anatoly Eiramdzhan died in Miami, Florida September 23, 2014 in the age 77 and was buried in Miami at Southern Memorial

Park. The death came from cardiac arrest.
