Biography

Olga Khodataeva was born in the Konstantinovskaya

realschule and married a local midwife Anna. He made a successful career and in 1898 moved his family to Moscow.[1][4]

Both Olga and her elder brother

scenic designer.[1][4]

In 1924 her brother along with the fellow artists

frames per second the cartoon ran over 50 minutes at the time, which made it one of the world's first animated features.[3]

For the next ten years she worked with her brother and the

Nenets art and described by Khodataev as "the first steps in conquering the tradegy genre"; and The Little Organ (1933), an adaptation of The History of a Town that manifested "a plasticity of animation movement and the filmmaker's ability to nudge animation towards real art".[1][4][5]

Both Khodataevs also created experimental animation for the

Disney-style shorts. Olga joined the collective, while Nikolai left the industry in disappointment, feeling that it wasn't up to bold experiments.[7]

From then on Khodataeva directed and co-directed around 30 animated films mostly based on traditional

Hitler
sketches that were released under the Kino-Circus name in 1942 to a great acclaim.

Among her other successful works was Sarmiko (1952) about the adventures of a Chukchi boy which was named the Best Animated Film at the VII Karlovy Vary International Film Festival; Sister Alenushka and Brother Ivanushka (1953) adapted from one of the most popular Russian fairy tales; and The Flame of the Arctic (1956) which received the first prize at the VIII Kids and Teens International Film Festival in Venice and a golden medal at the 6th World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow.[3]
