| - | Il travailla régulièrement en marge de l'industrie cinématograhique française. Que ce soit par le mode de financement assez particulier de films d'amateurs ou bien par le genre et les formats utilisés, sa filmographie se montrera des plus hétéroclites alors que le cinéaste usera longtemps d'un style très personnel et de motifs récurrents. Devenu un peu marginal dans le cinéma français, Dimitri Kirsanoff n'en demeure pas moins un des maillons de cette période allant de la fin du cinéma muet à l'avènement de la [[Nouvelle Vague]]. | ||
