SERGEI ZINEVICH FILM & TV EDITOR

I was born in 1971 in Kerch into a Ukrainian family that moved from northern to southern Ukrainian SSR — from Chernihiv Oblast to Crimea Oblast.

In 1993, I enrolled at VGIK in the directing program (fiction) in Nana Jorjadze’s workshop. During my studies I made coursework films as well as my diploma film “Soldat i durochka”, which won prizes at international film festivals, including the Jury Award at the 18th International Festival of Film Schools in Munich (1998).

From 1997 I worked as a director and editor in television and advertising. Since summer 2009, I have been editing films and TV series. This page presents my filmography.

Since the early 1990s I have consistently held an anti-war position. In 2011–2022 I took part in peaceful actions of the opposition movement, including both Peace Marches in 2014. I opposed the annexation of Crimea, the hybrid war in Donbas, and the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022. In 2023, my family and I left Russia.

I do not take part in projects that support war, imperial ideology, or violations of international law.

I work with producers and teams for whom the justification or promotion of military aggression is unacceptable.
