More than 20 years Oleksii Pasichnyk has been working as a creative director and as an advertising and tv-promo director. He has over 140 awards of advertising and television festivals. Short film “Teacher’s day” is his debut as a feature film director.
«Teacher’s Day» is my exploration of the limits of humanism. I want to put the viewers in the position where they have to choose between mercy and revenge. Should you treat your abuser as a human being, no matter what? Also, with this film I want to actualize the problem of child abuse in orphanages.
