Mikhail Kalatozishvili (28 December 1903 – 27 March 1973), was a Georgian film director most well known for his films The Cranes Are Flying and Soy Cuba. In 1969, he received the People's Artist of the USSR accolade. His film The Cranes Are Flying won the Palme d'Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival. Kalatozov studied economics and changed many professions before starting his film career as an actor and later — as a cinematographer.

In 1933 he enrolled to the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts. In 1936 he headed the Kartuli Pilmi film studio, then he was suggested a place at the USSR State Committee for Cinematography.
