Vladimir (Lado) Mujiri
, 1907 - 1953
Lado Mujiri (ლადო მუჯირი, Владимир Муджири, Vladimir Mudzhiri) was a pioneer of Georgian animation. He studied at the Georgian Academy of Arts. He started to work in film in 1929. According to the database Kino-teatr.ru (accessed: February 21, 2019) he made 15 animation movies from 1930 to 1952. Sergei Asenin, an eminent Soviet critic and historian of animated films, writes that the first Georgian cartoon was produced by Mujiri in 1936 (Argonavtebi). I have no information at what studio Mudjiri made his first four movies (1930-32). He mainly produced propaganda movies, so called “agitational-poster films”.*
