Dima Barch (Barchenkov) was born in 1998 (Moscow). He graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University as a journalist and almost finished High School of Economics as a filmmaker. Dima used to be a film journalist and critic for more than nine years. His essays were published in GQ, Esquire, Forbes, Iskusstvo Kino, etc.
A lifelong genre-film lover, he made his short film debut with Dead End, which had a North American Premiere at Beyond Fest and a UK Premiere at London Short Film Festival (LSFF). Also, it was selected by more than ten international film festivals. Dima's feature horror script Absence became a part of European Genre Forum 2022.
My short film debut is about strong feelings of imminence. A lot of gay people are suffering in my country. We are victims of patriarchy and our government that makes us run away. The authorities turn a blind eye to violence and turn our lives into nightmares.
I wanted to talk about these rather important things in the horror genre.
