Director Biography - Angelina Eroshkina

My name is Angelina Eroshkina, I'm 20.I was born in a small town in the Arkhangelsk region in Russian Federation. 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

I wasn't going to cry, let alone take it on camera. Everything in this film is unintentional. Initially, I was creating a documentary about the difficulties of accessing medicine help in my country using the example of how I could become disabled myself at that moment because of losing sensitivity in my hand due to long bureaucratic processes in the healthcare system. For legal reasons, the film cannot be shown. When I found out that, I wanted to delete everything. But by chance I saw a fragment of it that turned out due to me forgetting to turn off my camera. Now this fragment is the end of the film. Then, I decided to make a film based on emotions only, from all the unfortunate moments where I tried not to cry to say something, and these attempts became my most honest statement about feelings people try to suppress.
