Director Biography - Erik Sémashkin

Arrived from Ukraine in France in 2012, I am a young director with more than ten short films to my credit, selected and awarded internationally.

I want to diversify and explore new forms of filmmaking, working on several genres. However, this variety of films has a common background.

Whether it’s about the environment or international conflicts, I remain sensitive to current events while telling my story.

A tribute to the 19,000 people evicted from the Île-de-France region before and during the Paris Olympic Games.
