VLADIMIR DOLZHENKOV
DIRECTOR'S BIO:

Vladimir was born on 9 January 2002 in Kursk. His passion for photography, which germinated in him during his first year at the local technical school, quickly developed into a passion for video shooting and led him into the world of film production. Having mastered the trade on his own with the help of Internet resources and books, he began his career as a photography director of several short films. Then, already as a director and photography director, he made a full-length documentary film ‘The North Remembers’, dedicated to the Russian North, for which he was awarded the medal ‘For Contribution to Historical Science and Culture’ from the centre Svetoch. Twice won the ArtMasters championship, where he shot his debut — a short feature film ‘Here Comes Tolik’ — as director. In 2024 he joined the creative youth community of film professionals MOST and was shortlisted for the Russian Creative Awards 2024 in the special category Tavrida.Art.
