About the director

Among the contemporary artists who became filmmakers, Ihor Podolchakis a figure odious. Unlike Matthew Barney and Marina Abramović he does not balance on the verge of conceptual video art but he is engaged in cinematography in its pure form.[6] At the same time, Podolchak's films are much closer to experimental cinema than those films that are shot by other contemporary artists.[7]

Synopsis
