Born on January 17, 1964 in Dnipro (Ukraine). Graduated from the Kyiv National University of Theater, Cinema and Television in 1999. From 1999-2022 I worked as a correspondent on the culture department of the daily all-Ukrainian newspaper Den. My reviews, interviews and articles on the topics of cinema and visual culture were published in a wide range of Ukrainian and foreign media. I am a member of FIPRESCI, the Ukrainian Film Academy and the Union of Film Critics of Ukraine. My experience as a member of the FIPRESCI juries includes work at the Montreal World Film Festival (2015), the Odessa International Film Festival (2019) and the Kiev International Molodist Festival (2013). I am also a member of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
