About the director Among the contemporary artists who became filmmakers, Ihor Podolchak is a figure obvious. 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.Шпилюк, Алик. Игорь Подольчак покоряет голландские высоты. «Коммерсант Украина», № 8 от January 23, 2008. Retrieved November 3, 2009. At the same time, Podolchak's films are much closer to experimental cinema than those films that are shot by other contemporary artists.Серебрякова, Наталя.
