1960 Best Director Crystal Ball Award at the Karlovi Fari International Film Festival in Czech Republic. Russian "Commemorative Summer", originally named "Seryozha", is adapted by Vera Panova from her short story. "War and Peace" director Sergei Bondarchuk plays the new stepfather of young Seryozha (Borya Barkhatov). The stepfather and the boy became so close in the months after they met that when the boy started living, he refused to leave his new father's side. Their summer idyll takes place on a Soviet collective farm managed by Bondalchuk, portrayed by novice filmmakers George Daneliya and Igor Talankin in the most enthusiastic and apolitical manner. Although the plot is not much, the film has achieved an admirable success as a poem that serves as the keynote of the film. From "The Whole Film Guide": Russian filmmaker Olki Danelia is one of the country's most popular satirical comedy directors. Born in Georgia, Daneliya comes from a family of prominent film actors; His grandmother Veriko Andzhaparidze is a famous Georgian silent film actress, his cousin Sofiko Chiaureli is also a leading actor, and his mother Meri Andzhaparidize has worked for Mosfilm Studios for over a decade. However, for the first time, he chose to receive training as an architect (perhaps out of respect for the engineer's father). After graduating in 1955, Daneliya only had a brief job in this field, but he decided to prefer movies and signed up for a directing course at Mosfilm Studios in 1958. In 1960, Daneliya and Igor Talankin co directed "Seryozha/ASummer to Remember.". Two years later, he directed his first personal directing work, "Put K Prichalu/The Way to The Wharf" (1962). His 1969 comedy "Ne Goryuy/Don't worry!" successfully fused humor and melancholy, and this device will become a symbol of Daneliya. In addition to being a director, Daneliya also co authored screenplays for his films, and occasionally for other directors. Daneliya's work has won many national and international awards. In 1964, his "Ya Shagayu po Moskve/I Walk Around Moscow" at the Cannes Film Festival (Cannes Film Festival), and in 1975, Alfonya received a special award at the All Union Festival (All Union Film), a major event in the Soviet Union. Daneliya's most popular film in the Soviet Union, "Mimino" (1977), won a special award at the Moscow International Film Festival and the Soviet National Award. In 1991, Daneliya won the Nika Award for Best Screenplay for "Passport" (1990).
