Sakhnenko Danylo (Ukrainian: Сахненко Данило; born 1875, Ekaterinoslav — died 1930, Kharkiv) was a Ukrainian cinema operator and film director.[1][2] He lived most of his life in Ekaterinoslav.
Biography
He lived in Mandrykivka (the suburbs of Ekaterinoslav). The cinema had fallen through the kinopnitorner E. Zailer, who arrived in the city with the Parisian cinema and created the «Electrobioscope» here (a cinema). During the construction of the «Bioscope» Zailer noticed a smart guy Sakhnenko and soon instructed him to turn the film handle. After half a year, Sakhnenko became a movie mechanic, and then — a senior mechanic.
In 1908, according to Arnold Cordyum, a representative of the famous French firm «Brothers Pathé and Co» (Pathé), when he had arrived to Ekaterinoslav, the man offered Sakhnenko to work as a correspondent for the film magazine «Pathé» — the magazine that sees everything, knows everything!». To do this, the reporter was provided with a film camera, several boxes of film and given instructions.
In the same year, Sakhnenko made a film about the cholera epidemic in the city. When he took the film on the Dnipro in 1910 for the company «Pathé», he received a letter of such content from it: «The cost of the material sent for the past year covers the cost of the cinemaarat, therefore, the removal apparatus goes to the ownership of the correspondent».
So Sakhnenko took part in the first movie company in Ukraine «South-Russian Sinematographic Joint-Stock Company Sakhnenko, Shtolinin and Ко».
In 1911 in Ekaterinoslav his own atelier «Family» and «South-Russian Cinematographic Joint-Stock Company Sakhnenko, Shtolinin and Ко» set the historical film «Zaporizhzhya Sich» about the feat of the Zaporozhian Cossacks and Koshtova Ataman Ivan Sulfur in battles against Tatars and Turks in the 17th century. This was the first Ukrainian gaming film. The picture was filmed with the participation of the descendants of The Zaporozhian Cossacks in the village Lotsmanska Kamianka (now — part of the Dnipro). This place was recognized as the most appropriate for filming, exploring the Dnipro River in the interval from Katerynoslav to Oleksandrivsk.
In the summer of 1911, performances were filmed during the tour of the theater of M. Sadovskyi in Katerynoslav, filming the best productions of the troupe — "Naimychka" I. Karpenko-Karogo and "Natalka Poltavka" I. Kotliarevskyi starring Zankovetska (the last film remained in the box office until 1930).
1912 — art film "Love of Andrew" (according to "Taras Bulba" by Mykola Hohol) and others.
1913 — art film "Mazepa" (according to the poem "Poltava" by O. Pushkin).
1914 — film adaptation of the play of Mykhailo Starytskyi "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi".
Having suffered financial failures, the shareholders abandoned the film propaganda of the classical repertoire and began to remove second-line comedies ("Hrytsko Holopupenko", "How did I get in!") and films with military propaganda, on which during the First World War were allocated budget funds, and it secured manufacturers from economic risks.
In 1920 Sakhnenko was a film operator in The 1st Cavalry Army and lived in Rostov-on-Don.
In 1925 together with M. Lider he made the art film "The murder of the village correspondent Malynovskyi".
From 1925 he worked as an operator in the Central Laboratory of All-Ukrainian Photo Cinema Management (Kharkiv).
Legacy
The All-Ukrainian Festival of Screen Arts "Dnipro-Cinema", which has been carried out in the Dnipro since 2004, is named after Danylo Sakhnenko from 2008. Also the Sakhnenko Prize is awarded there.
In 2010, a copy of one of 23 films by D. Sakhnenko, which has survived completely, returned to Dnipro. It is a drama in 4 parts "The poor man died in a military hospital" (1916, in it Sakhnenko took part as operator). The original is preserved in the archives of film and photo documents in Krasnogorsk (Moscow region, Russia).
