Andrei Lvovich Nekrasov (Russian: Андре́й Льво́вич Некра́сов; born 26 February 1958 in Saint Petersburg) is a Russian film and TV director from Saint Petersburg. In 2016, he produced the documentary The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes (available on Bitchute). Originally hired to make a film expected to support the official Western narrative, during the production he came to a different conclusion.
Work
His films include the documentary Disbelief (Недоверие) on the 1999 Russian apartment bombings. This film is available in DVD as an extra to Rebellion: The Litvinenko Case, but a low resolution version is available on Google Video[citation needed].
Russian Lessons, co-directed and produced by his wife Olga Konskaya and Norwegian producer Torstein Grude, deals with the Russian-Georgian war of 2008. It documents a journey by two directors-protagonists, Olga Konskaya and Andrei Nekrasov, one on each side of the frontline during the hostilities. For this documentary, Nekrasov was named The Person of 2009 in the Georgian Public Broadcaster's internet survey.[1]
In 2011 Nekrasov received an Oxfam Novib/PEN Award.
In 2012 Nekrasov released Farewell Comrades!, a six-part documentary series on the last phase of communism in Eastern Europe, produced for ARTE, YLE and many other European networks by Artline Films (France) and Gebrueder Beetz Filmproduktion (Germany). Nekrasov received the GRIMME Award 2013 for Farewell Comrades!
In the autumn of 2015 Al Jazeera English broadcast In Search of Putin's Russia, a four-part documentary series made by Nekrasov in collaboration with British film-maker Melanie Anstey which explored the attitudes of ordinary Russians towards Vladimir Putin and the country's recent history.[2]
The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes
Nekrasov's film The Magnitsky Act – Behind the Scenes, produced in Norway by Piraya Film, supported by a number of European film funds and the public Franco-German TV network Arte TV and completed in 2016, caused a major controversy. The film alleges that western politicians and media were misled by Bill Browder, a U.S. born investor and campaigner, into believing that the Russian tax consultant Sergei Magnitsky had been persecuted and killed for exposing corruption.[3] Thanks to financing a major campaign in collusion with Western intelligence services, Bill Browder's version of Magnitsky's life and death has been widely accepted across the world, and became the basis for legislations and sanctions in a number of countries, first of all the U.S, with the The Magnitsky Sanctions Act.
The premiere of Nekrasov's film at the European Parliament, scheduled for April 26, 2016, was stopped at the last moment.[4] A TV broadcast in Germany and France and film's public screenings were cancelled due to Browder's legal challenges.[5]
