An observation of the life of the author and her friends — an experiment in the relationship between subject and camera. The film studies how the documentary format of filming itself alters the behaviour of those in front of it, as they slip into a carousel of role-play that seems impossible to escape.

A film on the treatment of depression in a psychiatric hospital adjacent to a prison in Russia. The protagonist becomes a patient and is gradually drawn into the problems and disorders of other patients — including a new friend, 39, who jumped from the 12th floor after her husband left her. Meanwhile, the protagonist secretly records life inside the hospital on her computer and phone.

A documentary series on the emigration of Russians who reject their country's aggressive politics and war — their relationships with host communities, and how Russians, Ukrainians and locals coexist while taking part in political protest. The first season covers volunteer organisations helping Ukrainians, the mass emigration of Russian men through Upper Lars after mobilisation was announced, a visit to a Doukhobor village descended from 19th-century Russian émigrés, and Georgia's bid for EU candidate status.

A film about the encounter between the Russian "White" emigration in France and the new wave of émigrés after 2022. At its centre is the ACER-MJO community, founded by the first wave after 1917, which has preserved Orthodox cultural traditions for a century through family continuity and a summer Orthodox camp. In Paris, two Russian émigrés navigate the complex world of White Russians — one seeking his place in an Orthodox choir, the other drifting into a carefree life among the émigré youth.

The lighthouse beam glides over the nighttime streets of the city of Poti (Georgia). A lantern lights up, illuminating the "new quarter." Two streets, "Gagra" and "Abkhazia," form the neighbourhood that has become home to three generations of refugees from Abkhazia. The oldest remember their lost homeland; the middle generation left it as children; the youngest have never seen these places.

Poti, L'île Exil (2026) received support from L'Aide au film court in Seine-Saint-Denis.

A phone call between a granddaughter in Moscow and her grandmother in Kyiv, two days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. United in their opposition to the war, their conversation is not about conflict but about pain and love between close family members, accompanied by abstract video shots of the ongoing war.

Work about the protests in Kyrgyzstan in early 2022 — photos of injured people set against a puppy eating from a buffalo head, led by a psychedelic poem by Henri Chopin. The piece considers the human desire for blood, and how quickly people adapt once blood begins to absorb the world.

Many emigrants to Georgia become dependent on tranquilizers and other dangerous medicines. This video is a manifestation against their use — the author takes a large quantity of pills in an attempt to advocate for carefulness and mindfulness through lived experience.

The 2022 exhibition "My Imprisonment" traced an impromptu journey by its authors through the "streets of madness", addressing ideas of insanity and human codependency. The exhibition shares its name with the film My Imprisonment, since the film's premiere took place at the exhibition's opening. It also included a performance exploring the tangled threads of human personality, alongside paintings by young Moscow-based artists.

Filmed in Armenia during a military school student performance, it shows children "playing" at war amid a new outbreak in Nagorno-Karabakh — yet they will face it for real. Parents are proud of their future soldiers. The audio is drawn from Lev Kassil's "They Teach Us War," which notes: "…and war is not beautiful in the slightest…"

Video art assembled from found archival miniDV tapes. Rewinding the footage turns a family's trip to Paris into an image of fleeting memory. The soundtrack, "Brezhnev Rap" by Notorische Reflexe, evokes West Berlin in the era of the Wall, ironising the "Iron Curtain" and the risk of its return.
