Igor Zolotovitsky was awarded the Nika Prize posthumously.
Igor Zolotovitsky, former rector of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater Studio School, was posthumously awarded the Nika Prize for his contribution to the development of cinematography, criticism and education. This was announced on March 23 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the award ceremony.
Zolotovitsky's family, his wife and sons, received the nickname. Writer Evgeny Grishkovets spoke at the ceremony. He noted that Zolotovitsky was a "miracle and joy" for the studio school, and his 13-year leadership was a time when students did not doubt his greatness.
Singer Polina Gagarina, a student of Zolotovitsky, called him "gold" and "big daddy." She stressed that she misses the artist.
"I think Dad is an example of how a good person is a profession, and he taught everyone that it's important to be good people in a profession," said actor Alexei Zolotovitsky, the son of the late actor.
After the award ceremony, the guests traditionally honored the memory of the filmmakers who died in 2025. At that moment Gagarina sang the song "Tenderness".
Zolotovitsky died on January 14th. He was 64 years old. Since 1989, the artist has worked at the Moscow Art Theater Studio School, where he has been engaged in teaching for many years. In 2013, Zolotovitsky was appointed rector of the educational institution. After his death, actor Konstantin Khabensky became the new rector of the Moscow Art Theater Studio School.
