Ivan is a Moscow based Documentary filmmaker.
In his work, he aims to erase the line between feature film and documentary.
I use a hybrid approach to storytelling, where reality and fiction complement each other, so the viewer is free to determine the boundary between them.
‘Each work for me is a search for a new form of telling
the story, free from genre restrictions.
It is aimed at exploring human nature through the combination of reality and fantasy.
This synthetic approach allows creating a meta-narrative, where the very process of erasing boundaries becomes
part of the artistic statement’.
