other experience
Antipokaz
a festival of “bad” student films, founded in 2022 in Saint Petersburg. the idea is to lift the taboo from failed or awkward student work: authors revisit their first films, learn from them and laugh together.
the festival has grown to 46 screenings in 6 countries and more than 1000 viewers. I lead strategy, programming, communications and events, and coordinate an international team of curators.
Compass College
the first college of art and design in Central Asia. I am responsible for the academic strategy of the Filmmaking and Animation programs: curriculum development, faculty coordination, student mentorship and quality assurance.
I also work with the administration and industry partners, and help with student recruitment and the growth of the department in the region.
