Regizorul Gheorghe Siminel, între teatru şi film
Director Gheorghe Siminel, between theater and film

Summary/Abstract: Actor and director Gheorghe Siminel (1930–1989), a polyvalent artistic personality, graduated from ”Aleksandr Ostrovski” State Theater Institute in Leningrad (1952, the faculty Actor of Drama). He began his artistic creation activity as an actor on the stage of the Moldavian Musical-Dramatic Theater ”A. S. Pushkin” (now “Mihai Eminescu” National Theater). In the recent publication ”The Genesis of the National Theater in Chişinău, 1918–1960 (Chronicle)” by Iurie Colesnic, published by the prestigious ”Cartier” Publishing House (2016), it is mentioned that the young artist gathered the first applause, along with other of his colleagues P. Baracci, C. Tartau, Gh. Hasso, and others, after the show ”Talents and admirers” by Aleksandr Ostrovski. And yet, he put the true measure of his artistic possibilities into value in the field of direction. In this respect, Gheorghe Siminel manifested his creative grace at both cinematographic studios from our main city: ”Telefilm-Chisinau” and “Moldova-film”, while being the creator and animator of the novel TV theatre “Dialog”. By his indisputable talent, the director contributed to the professional identity of the ”Telefilm-Chisinau” studio. The context of the time when he accomplished his works – a period when propaganda rhetoric, ideological constraints and triumphal visions on life were fully manifested – was taken into account in the filmological analysis of his audiovisual creation.
