Biography
Mikhail Kalik was a Soviet and Russian film director and screenwriter known for his contributions to Soviet cinema during the 1960s. He studied at the Moscow Film School (VGIK) under Grigori Alexandrov. In 1951, during Stalin's anti-cosmopolitan campaign, Kalik was arrested and accused of Jewish bourgeois nationalism, leading to a ten-year sentence in labor camps. After his release, he directed notable films such as Goodbye, Boys! (1964) and To Love (1969), which were acclaimed for their humanistic themes and innovative storytelling. In 1971, Kalik emigrated to Israel, where he continued his work in film.
