In films, Alexander Negreba began acting in 1987. During this period, the young actor was invited to play the role of a character named Victor in the drama film “This is such a story” by Soviet director Inessa Selezneva. Participation in the film did not bring the artist fame. The film itself was left unattended by a wide audience.
A real breakthrough in Negreba’s career took place in 1988, when the actor played in the film directed by Vasily Pichul called “Little Faith”. The tape became a real symbol of the Perestroika period.

Alexander Negreba: creativity
In the mid-80s, the famous theater actor and director of plays decided to change the scope of activity. During this period, our hero had a desire to try himself as a writer. And this is not surprising, because Alexander already had experience writing scripts for theatrical productions and films.
In 1984, Negreba's works first began appearing in print. The newly-minted writer began to work closely with the editors of the popular Rodnik magazine. It was on its pages that the well-known essays of the artist appeared, entitled “The Return of the Theater” and “Definition”.

Subsequently, Alexander Negreba was actively published in the literary publications Zodiac, Oracle Steps, and Twice Two. According to readers' polls, the author entered the top five of the best domestic science fiction writers as of the beginning of the 2000s.
Directorial activity
In the early 90s, Negreba made his debut on wide screens not only as an actor, but also brought his fresh directorial ideas to the audience. The first work of Alexander in this field was the dramatic film "The Day Before", in which our hero played one of the secondary roles. It is worth noting that the debut tape of the novice director was perceived by critics very ambiguously. The film was a caustic parody of low-budget Soviet fighters and dipped the viewer into an atmosphere of absurdity. The main roles in the film, unusual in its content, were played by such artists as Galina Sazonova, Elena Poptseva and Tatyana Korenevskaya.
The film “The Day Before” did not go unnoticed. The director's debut film was awarded the prize of the International Film Festival "Interfest". Later, the picture fell into the rotation of the film festival "Second Premiere", where it received an award in the nomination "Favorite of the Year."
Recent actor roles
After a bright appearance on wide screens in the late 80s and early 90s, Negreba for a long time did not give unnecessary reasons to talk about his own person. With the entry into the new century, Alexander occasionally lit up in the multi-part project "Primadonna." Then the actor recalled himself in the series "Zilina Outpost". The last vivid role of Negreba at the moment was the image of Alexei Arkhipov in the debut episode of the series “Moscow. Three stations. ” After that, the actor completely focused on theatrical, screenwriting and literary activities and did not appear in films anymore.
