Polina Feoktistova

Polina is studying at VGIK in the workshop of Alexander and Vladimir Kott and Anna Fenchenko. She grew up in a closed military town, where she was the only child. Her childhood was spent riding a bicycle and watching soldiers, which shaped her creative perception. At 17, she entered VGIK. Her first serious experience in cinema began by chance: a survey about love that she and a friend filmed was included in an international festival. After the screening, the viewer said that the film brought him to tears. These words inspired her to continue.
