Over the past years, I’ve had the chance to explore different facets of filmmaking in Luxembourg, both in front of and behind the camera. Some of these personal and collaborative projects have been recognised at national events, screened in professional settings, and shared with broader audiences.
In October 2022, my short film Souriez – Vous êtes filmés (2021) was screened at Ciné Scala, Diekirch as part of the Dikrecher Filmdaag and won the 3rd Prize in the Youth Category of the Concours National du film d’Auteur.
In April 2022, I received the 2nd place in the BAYOTA Young Talents – Jugend filmt contest for the short films Marginal (2022) and Souriez – Vous êtes filmés (2021), which were screened at ARCA Bertrange, Luxembourg.
In November 2021, I contributed to a video clip created in collaboration with Pinyapat Kunakornsakul and projected at the Cinémathèque Luxembourg as part of the D-A-CH, Das Blühende Leben event.
Beyond my own low-budget and independent productions, I’ve taken part in a variety of Luxembourgish and co-produced film projects, gaining hands-on experience and developing a deeper understanding of cinematic storytelling : in Nocturnal Masquerade, directed by Romy Ferguson (Feierblumm Productions ASBL), I played the role of a curious vampire (March 2024). In the artistic film project Wir Überlebenskünstler by Martina Roth (Manufactura Pictures), I was both co-author and actress in the role of a deserter, with the premiere held at the Conservatoire de la Ville de Luxembourg in July 2021.
Furthermore, I contributed to A World Divided, 1939–1956 (Iris Production) as a Russian language consultant and interpreter for the series directed by Olga Chajdas in 2023. I also provided Luxembourgish voice-over work for the Dutch series Nemesis (Pupkin Film), directed by Willem Bosch and Pieter Kuijpers, also in 2023.
Earlier, in June 2021, I participated as an extra in Corsage by Marie Kreutzer (Samsa Film), portraying a Hungarian citizen, and in Lost Transport by Saskia Diesing (Amour Fou), playing the part of a Jewish deportee.
These experiences have enriched my understanding of film, from conceptualisation to execution, and I remain passionate about using film as a tool for expression, connection, and storytelling.
