Khutsiev 's first feature film , '' Spring on Zarechnaya Street '' ( 1956 ) , encapsulated the mood of the Khrushchev Thaw and went on to become one of the top box-office draws of the 1950s . Three years later , Khutsiev launched Vasily Shukshin " as a new kind of popular hero " by starring him in '' Two Fyodors '' . His two masterpieces of the 1960s , however , were panned by the authorities , forcing Khutsiev into something of an artistic silence . In 1978 , Khutsiev began teaching film directing master classes at the VGIK . ) His 1991 film '' Infinitas '' won the Alfred Bauer Prize at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival
