Lisa has not made the film publicly available, but it had screenings at the Odessa International Film Festival and then at the Cannes Film Festival.

Documentary films

At 2015 I finished editing my second documentary film"Pit-hole: wanderers".  It is based on an interview recorded in the summer, 2015 August 11.

In a small house in a remote district of Kyiv, wanderers live. They are street musicians that speaking about what is spiritually enduring.

During this time I studied in Kateryna Gornostai's documentary film school at GogolFest, Kyiv.

The name of my film also refers to the movie "Pit-hole" by Jiří Stejskal about the owners of houses where musicians live.

This film is an interesting mix of the spiritual quest, authentic music, big ideas, doubt and artist place in society.

can be viewed here (only russian subtitles by now).

In 2013 I made full-length documentary film "Vote for our theater, please"

Art Group of young artist-performers fights for the chance to win 100 000 UAH (12 000 USD at that time) to create own theater. They need support in form of Likes. And that just will not do for the Likes...

Film is divided into the countdown time parts to the final deadline.

For me it is a very important film about the riot of the creative energy and drive to the Dream / Goal.

We did premier screening in the cinema of GogolFest 2013

Feature films

I have three main works.

Some of my films scripts (rus/ukr lang) online: ".root" (2014 on screenplay.com.ua ), "Closed" (2013 read ), and for the project " Ukraine, goodbye! » (2012, 2011, 2010) on screenplay.com.ua.

My third film

I had create an experimental short film "Creation"(2013) for the Dreamfest festival on the theme of dreams. Is it based on my poem about creative process as whole.

Core idea: combining oscillation of two aesthetics - documentary manual camera and staged studio picture on a prof camera.

I became a Man in the film's world. A Girl plays a young actress Nastya Vergeles. Both of us all the time with eyes closed. Detailed description on russian.

My second film

I wanted to work with the idea of creating a narrative collage. Typically, this is inconsistency techniques: collage is postmodern method and narrative with a direct hero's journey is modern. I cut my script to create similar to the memory collage flash experience. Else I add some puzzles on Taras Shevchenko memorial places (a monument, a memorial hut, in the final in behind chapels, where his funeral was help).

Filmed for the Ukrainian state in 2012 year, my short film "National Idea in Ukraine" or "N.I.V.U." is part of a larger project "Ukraine, Goodbye! " I involved in project in 2010 almost from the beginning and wrote 17 scripts, two of which were selected for the money support and filming stage.

In the beginning I wrote script without dialogue. But then in the discussion, we all agreed that the insertion of only one word in the climax is even better. 

I worked with Fresh production for casting, selection of locations (the hotel entrance and the hotel room, restaurant, university, her room, parks and streets, tram, lake) and three days of filming. All film visual decisions made with Diana Olifirova, who became the operator of this and my first film.

To change flags still like continuous day/night moment we used a generator and floodlighted the whole street.

General coordination of shooting a very cool process and production in this great help.

We did some experimentation with color-correction profiles. And sound was mixed to 5.1 for cinemas.

Movie premiere premiered at the Tarkovskyi festival in Kyiv.

My first short film

"Happens" (2011-12) is based on a theatrical monologue by Lena Shevchenko.

It was difficult because we did everything ourselves without a budget. You can read a detailed description (Russian).

The film premiered at a festival in Kharkiv.
