Tossup

Two answers required. A documentary by one of these directors about the other intercuts photos with footage from her films, such as her student project Heat. After one of these directors died in a car accident during location scouting for a film about a town threatened by the construction of a dam, the other finished it under the shortened name Farewell. These two directors would pay the other when they had a good idea, such as when one coined the title of a film by the other that features a shot where the camera zooms out as it moves away from a group of (*) partisans obscured by trees in a snowy forest. The death of one of these directors marked a turning point in the films of the other, whose switch to tragedies culminated in a film about Flyora, a boy who joins the Belarussian resistance. For 10 points, name these married Soviet (10[1])filmmakers who independently directed the war films Come and See and The Ascent. ■END■
