Director Biography - Angelina Eroshkina

My name is Angelina Eroshkina, I'm 19.I was born in a small town in the Arkhangelsk region in Russia. I've been making movies since I was 12 years old, and since I was 13 I've been doing my own promotion at film festivals. I finally came to the cinema by accident, after getting injured in professional sports.

At the moment, I am studying at the Institute of Contemporary Art to become a film and TV director, I switched to the 3rd year. Most of all, I am interested in experimental directions in all types of cinema, and I am also engaged in artificial intelligence.

Director Statement

As my student debut, I decided to create a film about loneliness. It was the widespread loneliness that I experienced when I was struggling with a chronic disease and was on chemotherapy at that moment. By the time filming began, I had defeated the disease and this film appeared! With my films, I want to evoke emotions and feelings in viewers, only secondarily logical conclusions. In my work, it is very important for me to use a transcendent experience that can help viewers to experience difficult moments, to see how not to act and how it should not end in life.
