Iryna is a director of «For You».
Coming from the heart of Ukraine, she is keen on storytelling and female optics in film. She started her filmmaking journey as a scriptwriter and in 2021 she wrote and directed her first commercial for Samsung Ukraine in the framework of the young directors’ contest «Yo!Da! ». Before coming to MA course in Filmmaking at Goldsmiths, Iryna was working in the largest Ukrainian broadcasting group Starlight media.
The film captures the essence of Mary's emotional journey with a blend of laughter and tears. The story was inspired by one of the conversations I had with my grandma after the passing of my grandfather. In her words, I heard not only grief but also regret of not being able to explore the world “how it is possible for young ladies now”. She was talking about her sexuality and I felt how her words touched my soul and led to creating a world where this topic wasn't taboo.
