Born in 2003 in Kalmykia, I directed my first short film at 14. 

A month later it premiered at an international festival in Moscow. Since then, I have built a consistent body of short films, screened at festivals across Russia and Europe. 

At 17, I entered Dmitry Mamulia’s directing workshop at the Moscow School of New Cinema, where I trained intensively while also working in Moscow’s film industry as an assistant director.

After graduating at 19, I emigrated from Russia, continuing to create self-produced short films while living in several countries before settling in Hamburg. 

In fall 2025, I have begun studying at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts (HFBK), majoring Film.

While continuing to make short films, study and network I also focus now on my debut feature projects in development. 

At 22, I remain committed to exploring cinema as a form of existential inquiry, with each film expanding the language I began developing as a teenager.
