Павел Медведев

Pavel Medvedev (b. 1963, Orenburg), graduated from the Leningrad State Institute of Culture (1990) and then from the two-year Higher Courses in Television Production. He has worked as a producer for Petersburg radio and television stations. In 2001 he produced the documentary series "Petersburg Short Stories." His debut, the documentary Vacations in November (Otpusk v noyabre, 2002), focuses on miners who spend their holidays earning money (or at least meat) up north slaughtering reindeer; the film took several awards at home and abroad. Also successful was the documentary The Very Best Day (Samy luchshy den', 2002) about a Russian organ builder who lives in the country, where he dazzles his neighbours with his music.
