Malik Qayumovich Qayumov was a Soviet-Uzbek filmmaker, actor, and the first secretary of the Union of Cinematographers of the Uzbek SSR from 1976 to 1986. He was renowned for his work filming the exhumation of Timur’s burial site. Later on he worked as a frontline camera operator during World War II and then for the Uzbekfilm studio. His films were shown internationally. For his work he was awarded many prestigious awards, including the State Hamza Prize, People's Artist of the USSR in 1967, the USSR State Prize in 1981, Hero of Socialist Labour in 1990, and the Nika Award for the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992. He was haunted throughout his life with the belief that the opening of tomb of Timur, a process that he filmed, caused the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union as result of the "curse of Timur" and that the war would not have happened if the tomb was left undisturbed.
