- The film "Waiting for the God" transcends geographic and ethnic boundaries and is cosmopolitan in nature. The portrait of daily life painted in the film is a dismal one. It is repetitive and stagnant. It lacks meaning and purpose and entails perpetual suffering. The solution (which none of the characters take) would seem to be action and choice despite the ever-presence of uncertainty, and an awareness of one's surroundings and past actions. As one character says, "habit is a great deadener" - our actions should stem from conscious choice rather than apathy. Vladimir (the protagonist) wonders towards the end of the film whether or not he is even awake. "Waiting for the God" has a unique cinematic quality, combining traditions of theatrical staging with meticulous cinematography and attention to every detail in lighting, composition and navigating a camera through the story line. The film is shot in a ruined old Italian city completely abandoned by its citizens many years ago. It is one of the most amazing places on the planet and is under the supervision of UNESCO. The look of the film presents a unique balance of phantasmagorical landscapes and a sublime play of four lead actors whose presence and acting merge with the landscape.

- "The Sunset Blues" animated film originated and was produced as a logical continuation of the filmmaker's two previous film series - "Moving paintings" and "Deconstructed Diaries". It was a daunting task to find harmony in a semi-abstract film and accompanying music. The film is striving for the way of finding perfect harmony for every color through a precisely calculated shape it represented. Film directors, especially with artistic background, know how crucial is the understanding of the scale of a colors in a film frame composition. There is a high degree of complexity in proportions and correspondence with the other colors in one mise en scène; the shape visible in yellow will become color indifferent if depicted in green, i.e. an object that is perfect in yellow, will be read as secondary, and grayed out in human perception, if painted in a different color. Moving Painting film series project has reference to a long track in history of visual arts in exploration of correlation of music and shape animation. Most famous examples include Viking Eggeling, "Diagonal Symphony", "Space Modulator" by László Moholy-Nagy [c 1942]., "DREITEILIGE FARBSONATINE" (1923) by Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, Oskar Fischinger with his 'Sound Scrolls', Ballet Mécanique (1924) by Fernand Léger It was fascinating to invent the ways of illustrating music in film, to animate an image based on parameters of a different media - music.
