The Orange Sun
Director
After the second round of the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine, millions of people went out on the streets. During this revolution, there was a genuine solidarity between people from different levels of the society, from the cities and the countryside. Although these people were brought up in a Soviet society where every protest against the authorities was a danger to one's life, they were so disappointed by what came after the collapse of the Soviet Union that they went out to the streets, faced the authorities and made the orange revolution possible. The film explores motives for taking part in the Ukrainian revolution, their view of the world, living-condition and hope for the future.

Три цвета: Белый
Still Photographer
Второй фильм трилогии «Три цвета» напоминает анекдот в пушкинско — гоголевской традиции. Притча о необходимости равенства между людьми во всем мире приобретает в этом фильме черты трагикомедии, саркастической истории о человеке, который теряется в цивилизованном мире — зато прекрасно чувствует себя в постсоциалистическом обществе. Лишь в финале этот сатирический набросок нравов превращается в щемящий рассказ о жажде любви…

From the City of Lodz
Director of Photography
