Papier-mâché
Self (voice)
Just as layers of papier-mâché strengthen the fragile form, so working on films and oneself shapes the director. The film is dedicated to the attentive teacher and outstanding puppeteer Oleh Pedan who passed away in 2020.
Circus on the Wire
Animation
Dangerous, incomprehensible and simply forbidden objects sometimes happen in the adult world. Sometimes, adults themselves can't explain why it's not possible, it's forbidden, and other things in general ... and stop thinking! And for some reason such items are of the greatest interest to the child. But every good thing has a good side. Especially when it falls into the hands of a naive, unspoiled person - a child.

The Key
Screenplay
A fairy tale about a town where all creatures and even nature consist of watch mechanisms. Trash scattered on the sidewalk, animals, birds, trees and the local population looks a bit like a robot – all this consists of a lot of details and diagrams. A watchmaker helps them all, the only man of flesh and blood in this country. As if being a doctor, he accepts those who have any complaints. Life goes on, until one day the unexpected happens.

One day, a son of a king went for a ride in the woods. He fell asleep and didn’t notice he was deep in the forest, where the iron wolf lives. The angry roar and the gnashing of steel jaws awakened him, and he broke into a run to save himself from the dreadful monster.

The Crocodile
Editor
This story is full of images and context, even though it is a simple story about a crocodile that ate a disagreeable man, it turns out that also addresses the problem of property and economic principles. Of course, all this is done to give a humorous effect, denouncing the social order, which may be contrary to the common sense.
