Director Biography - Ksenia Checheleva

I was born and raised in Moscow and I love my city very much. It was Moscow that inspired me to create my first video work: a report about the residents of Moscow. For a long time, I played in a theater studio and then applied to an acting faculty, but what really attracted me was creating a character, and a year later I went to another university - the Literary Institute named after Gorky. My fascination with cinema didn't leave me and I also graduated from the Free Cinema school, where I made my thesis work, which I am presenting now. It's important to always try, like professional athletes, and gain new experience.
Я родилась и выросла в Москве, очень люблю свой город. Именно он вдохновил меня на первую видео-работу: репортаж о жителях Москвы. Долгое время я играла в театральной студии и по окончании школы поступила на актёрский факультет, но меня больше привлекало создание собственных произведений, и через год я поступила в другой вуз - Литературный институт им. Горького. Увлечение кино меня не оставило, и параллельно я окончила киношколу Свободное кино, где сняла дипломную работу, которую сейчас представляю. Для важно всегда пробовать, развиваться профессионально и получать новый опыт!

Director Statement

This film is my first cinematic work, where I wanted to implement my most challenging tasks. During my studies, I was striving to be the best in the class, the most beautiful, and the thinnest - like me and many other girls, I faced an eating disorder. This movie deserves attention to this problem.
Этот фильм моя первая киноработа и в ней я хотела воплотить мои самые сильные переживания. Участь в школе, стремясь быть самой лучшей в классе, самой красивой, самой худой - я, как и многие девушки, столкнулась с расстройством пищевого поведения. Этот фильм призван обратить внимание на эту проблему.
