ACTOR

Fayziev began acting in films as a child. In 1972, he played a small role in the film “Waiting for You, Guy” by Uzbek director Ravil Batyrov, based on the script by Andrei Konchalovsky and Eduard Tropinin. In the same year, the young actor played the main role in the short film “By the Bluest Sky.”

Janik’s main acting work occurred in the early 80s, when he played in the films: “Meeting at the High Snows,” “The Adventures of Little Muk,” “Awakening” and “Code of Silence.” After this, Fayziev stopped acting, concentrating on the profession of director and producer. He found himself on the other side of the camera again only in 2020, playing the role of Greek jeweler Zachary Kardzhoglo in the TV series “Murka”.

Janik admits: “It so happened that as soon as I started directing, I abandoned the profession. I didn’t act in my own films, I only played arms and legs, I was always behind the scenes. He voiced the voice-over text in “The Turkish Gambit”, where there is a translation from Turkish. I understand this language a little, and who, if not me, understood the intonations of the actors’ mood at that moment. I played the hands of all the doormen and waiters there, because sometimes it’s easier to do it myself than to explain to the actor what I need. Moreover, when the main actor leaves and they take someone from the extras. Sometimes it’s more difficult to play with your hands than with your face.”

From actors to directors

Fayziev did not achieve much success as an actor. Over the years, he appeared in the films “Serving the Fatherland”, “Youth of a Genius”, “Awakening”, “The Adventure of Little Muk”, “Code of Silence”, and also starred in the TV series “Meeting at the High Snows” and “Murka”.

Gradually, Janik realized that acting was not his calling. Directing and producing became his priority areas. For some time, the young man held the position of assistant director at Uzbekfilm, then became the director of the Ilkhom youth theater.

Fayziev’s first serious achievement was the New Year’s musical film “Old Songs about the Main Thing,” released in the late 80s. It was a success, and Janik was entrusted with working on a series of such paintings. This was followed by cooperation with the Ostankino and NTV channels, and then the position of head of the Film Production Directorate on Channel One.

DIRECTOR

From his very first works, Janik declared himself as an original and promising director who makes original films with acute social themes. His paintings “Kya-dya” and “Siz kim siz?” were enthusiastically received by critics and awarded prestigious film awards at festivals.

The director says: “By paraphrasing Winston Churchill’s famous words about liberals, I can outline my life principle. If you’re not an “arthouse guy” at 25, it means you don’t have a soul, and if you’re still one at 25, it means you don’t fully understand everything in this life.”

A television

In the 90s, Janik actively worked on television. He was the director of the programs: “Kinopanorama”, “Interception”, “Namedni 61-91. Our era", "Ten songs about Moscow", "Lord of taste". He was also the director of the cycle of musical New Year's films "Old Songs about the Main Thing."

From 1997 to 2005, Fayziev was director of the Film Production Directorate of Channel One.

In addition, the director actively worked on commercials and music videos. In 1999, he shot a video for Valery Meladze’s songs “Dream” and “Rassvetnaya”.

"Request stop"

In 2000, the premiere of Fayziev’s new directorial work, the television series “Stop on Demand,” took place. According to the plot, the main character Andrei Smirnov (Dmitry Pevtsov), after a quarrel with his wife, decided to go to his mother. Once at the stop on demand, he waits for the bus. A passing car splashes him with mud from a puddle. Behind the wheel is a young and wealthy woman, Irina (Olga Drozdova), whose meeting will change Andrey’s whole life...

Great ratings and the love of the audience contributed to the fact that a year later a continuation of the story was released - the series “Stop on Demand-2”. “No one thought that the series would become a real hit. They say that everyone warned the production center that they were making a huge mistake, that today the country is not ready to watch melodrama, especially in prime time,” recalls Janik.

"Turkish gambit"

The director’s next work was a film adaptation of Boris Akunin’s novel of the same name “The Turkish Gambit,” which tells the story of the course of the Russian-Turkish War and the participation of Erast Fandorin in it. Director of the Turkish Gambit" a huge number of articles appeared claiming that this was a patriotic film. I shot it as an adventure film, but people began to talk about the high patriotic spirit in this film, which, of course, really surprised me.”

The film was awarded many prestigious film awards, including the Golden Eagle for best editing and for the work of the production designer.

"August. Eighth"

In 2012, a new work by Janik Fayziev was released on the screens - the film “August. Eighth,” which tells about the conflict in South Ossetia that occurred in August 2008. “I took up this material when I realized that in front of me was one of the few cases when Russia behaved like a large country, confident in its abilities and having the right to act as it ultimately did,” says Janik.

According to the creators, the film “August. Eighth" is a large-scale film for the whole family, where the center of the story is a man who finds himself in the very epicenter of hostilities. The battle scenes in the film were filmed using the most modern special effects, which allow the viewer to be completely immersed in a fictional reality and feel like a participant in the action.

In the film “August. Eighth” Fayziev managed to assemble a brilliant acting ensemble. The film starred: Svetlana Ivanova, Maxim Matveev, Egor Beroev, Artem Fadeev, Alexander Oleshko, Alexey Guskov, Vladimir Vdovichenkov and other famous actors.

After all, little is known about that time. There are simply historical events that are included in chronicles and epics. But no details have been preserved,” says Janik.

In an interview with HELLO! the director admitted: “Sveta and I are quite superstitious people; we don’t like to talk about relationships openly. And this is due, in particular, to the public’s unhealthy interest in people’s personal lives. It is better to protect your personal life and keep it in a private area. But we are together."

In 2012, Svetlana and Janik had a daughter, Polina. In May 2018, it became known that the couple had a second daughter.

Now he takes her to various events, introduces her to his family and colleagues. Now it won’t hurt anyone, we can talk about it openly,” she said.

Lina Aspley in her youth with her son Dmitry

At the university, the student came under the wing of Yuri Katin-Yartsev (the astronomer from “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, the servant Thomas from “That Same Munchausen”, Giuseppe Sizy Nose from “Pinocchio”) and Vladimir Poglazov, who gave his strength to “Sovremennik” and the Class Theater on Lesnaya .

INTERVIEW

About Me

“I'm a real workaholic. Moreover, I believe that no normal person can seriously say that he has achieved something in life if he did it without devoting all his free time to his work. Therefore, for me, work is not a part of life, but, in fact, life is. And I don’t understand myself outside of work.”

“I can’t do things halfway.”

About cinema

“Modern cinema is a very expensive toy. There will be cinema if the industry exists. And that, in turn, can only exist within a commercial framework: it must produce goods that are sold and support production. Without this full cycle, it is impossible to talk about the existence of the industry.”

“The truth is not always beautiful and interesting, but cinema requires expressiveness.”

About the profession of director and producer

“There is no difference between the professions of producer and director. The only question is the scale of responsibility. The director is responsible for the implementation of the project, and the producer is responsible for the implementation, promotion and birth of the project. The most beautiful thing about being a director is the opportunity to be a demiurge and create a world that did not exist before you. The producer has a project mindset, and in his work he focuses on the audience.”
