"The Father" by SBP4 feat. AIGEL music video
role: Editor

The lyrics of the song reflect a deep sense of despair, disappointment, and a complex relationship with a father figure. The song juxtaposes different types of fathers (e.g., stupid, evil, kind, playful) with the constant refrain of "dead," suggesting a feeling of pervasive hopelessness and disillusionment. Additionally, in the lyrics, semordnilaps like "гром" (thunder) and "киборг" (cyborg) are cleverly employed, where their backward readings "морг" (morgue) and "гробик" (little coffin) respectively, enhance the song's exploration of contrasting
themes such as life and death, nature and artificiality.

DAU. Empire. The Return of the Prodigal Son.
roles: Assistant Editor, Post-Production Supervisor for "Empire" tetralogy by Anatoly Vasiliev

The DAU project by Ilya Khrzhanovsky began as a biopic of Soviet physicist Lev Landau, which was nominated in 2008 at the European Film Awards for Best European Film, but it evolved into an expansive, immersive world that was captured on a Soviet-era-inspired set in Ukraine over three years, resulting in over 800 hours of footage. Participants in this social experiment inhabited roles shaped by the historical and political context of the time, living as if they were in the USSR, working at a closed-city research institute, between 1938 and 1968, with their lives filmed 24/7. After nearly 10 years in post-production, the project lost its financing and was released in an unfinished form in Paris in 2019. DAU uses its immersive and documentary formats to critically examine how individuals adapt to living under a repressive regime, making it an unparalleled fusion of history, art, and sociology. The project won a Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution for cinematographer Jürgen Jürges at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale).

The film is available to view here.
