Feldman Zinovy Lvovich (August 1919, Luchiny, Korosten District, now Zhytomyr Region, Ukraine — 1989; exact date of birth, exact date and place of death unknown, presumably Moscow) — battlefield cameraman, documentary filmmaker.

Zinovy Feldman was born into the family of a handicraftsman. In 1933–1936, he worked in the agitation and propaganda department of the 3rd cinema (KSM?) in Kyiv; from 1934, he was a member of the trade union of cultural and educational workers. In 1940, he graduated from the cinematography faculty of the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK); in 1952, he completed studies at the University of Marxism-Leninism under the USSR Ministry of Cinematography.

In 1940–1942, he served in an artillery regiment of the Soviet Army and took part in the Iranian campaign. In September 1942, he was wounded and treated in an evacuation hospital in Tbilisi, from where he was summoned to Moscow.

In 1942–1945, he worked as a special correspondent of the Central Documentary Film Studio (CSDF) at the fronts of the Second World War, shooting such newsreel films as Battles near Rzhev, Direct Fire, The Smolensk Gate, Under Enemy Fire, On the Approaches to Riga, and others. Together with the Soviet Army, he advanced through Poland and Germany.

In 1945–1953, he worked as a cameraman at the CSDF and produced numerous films, for which he was twice awarded the Stalin Prize (later the USSR State Prize). In 1952, he participated in the creation of the documentary film Soviet Kuban, part of a series about the republics of the USSR. For unclear reasons, the film was sharply criticized by Joseph Stalin, and as a result, the entire film crew was removed from cinematographic work in early 1953.

For some time, Feldman worked in Moscow as a laboratory assistant in a photo studio under orders issued in another person’s name. After the death of Joseph Stalin on 5 March 1953, he worked as a photographer for the “Soyuzpishchepromreklama” association. His return to cinematography took place at the Riga Film Studio, where he shot the film Along the Daugava. From 1954, he worked at the “Mosnauchfilm” studio.

He was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War (1st and 2nd class), two Orders of the Red Star, and medals including For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945. Footage shot by Feldman was included in feature-length war films, the film epic The Great Patriotic War, and the film Victory Parade.
