He made very few movies (just six in all, throughout a long career, spanning from 1928 to 1967). Despite this so small number of films, he keeps an important place place in the history of Soviet cinematography: Nikolai Ekk produced their first sound film (Road to Life, 1931) and the first color one (The Nightingale, 1936).
