Zamir Gotta began his career as a freelance film producer in the Soviet Union when the biggest Moscow-based film studio, Mosfilm attracted high-level Hollywood producers. While there he worked in co-production on HBO’s “Midnight train to Moscow: with Billy Crystal” (1989).
Zamir’s next credit was Co-Producer of “Orlando” (Adventure Pictures, London-Lenfilm-Uzbekfilm) where he was production coordinator (1990-1992). After the USSR collapsed, ABC News hired Zamir as an Associate Producer for all major feature programs produced in Russia.
He worked with Ted Coppel on Nightline’s “The Last Days of Gorbachev: Anatomy of Crises,” a program based on the unsuccessful coup in 1993. Zamir has reported on PrimeTime Live’s “Inside the Kremlin” with Dyane Sawyer and Sam Donaldson. Zamire was also Co-Producer on The BBC miniseries “The Second Russian Revolution.” These productions provided a western audience a better understanding of the “bloodless” coups in Russia during 1991 and 1993.
Zamir later served as an Associate Producer for the following productions: The International Monetary Fund’s series of documentaries on “Economic Reforms in Russia from 1994-1997,” National Geographic documentaries on Wildlife in Russia and on Durov Animals.
