Aleksandr Rogozhkin

Alexander Rogozhkin ( _ru. Алекса́ндр Влади́мирович Рого́жкин, born October 3,1949 in Leningrad) is a Russian film director. Abroad, he is most famous for his acclaimed 2002 film "The Cuckoo" ("Kukushka"), which won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Picture. He also directed the very popular Russian-language screwball comedies "Peculiarities of National Hunt" and "Peculiarities of National Fishing", among other works.

Rogozhkin's latest film, Transit ("Peregon"), was released in 2006. It is a "wartime tragicomedy" about the relationship between Soviet soldiers in the Far Eastern outpost in Chukotka and the American female pilots who bring them U.S.-made airplanes from Alaska through the lend-lease program. As in "The Cuckoo", Rogozhkin cast a number of amateur actors for "Peregon".
