Best Short Film
Artur was born in 1992 in Naberezhniye Chelny city. Moved to Saint-Petersburg to study for a pilot, when he was 17 years old. Currently he is a captain of Boeing 737NG. During free time he writes books and music. In 2020 graduated "A.Mitta Film School" and made his first short movie "Deja Vu», now it’s been showing on festivals around the world. Then in collaboration with producer and director Andrey Lisyanskiy shot next short-movie «Bluff». Now he works on a full-length film.
This project collected professionals of industry, and it is definitely new step in my career. Compared to last movie «Deja Vu», «Bluff» concentrates on the story twists, which will hold you until the scenes after the final titles. Great actors cast immerses you more to the atmosphere shown on the screen. As a director, I wanted to give our main actors opportunity to play characters not familiar to them, to move them out of comfort zone of usual roles, and I think that guys performed it 100 percent. I want to say thank to my team, cause together we created a great movie! Our team is growing up with each project, and I hope soon we will make a big step forward and start to work on full-length film together, based on my main profession - aviation. I want to shot something sensitive, touching, interesting and true about it.
