And My Love Will Live On

Experimental Animated Documentary Short / 5 Min / 2025

And My Love Will Live On is a handcrafted digital collage exploring memory, resistance, and freedom.

Drawing on three true stories of political prisoners in contemporary Russia, the film assembles intimate, vignette-like moments of fear, adaptation, and resilience.

Through a poetic and non-linear visual language, personal and collective memories intertwine, creating a space in which human presence and dignity endure despite systemic violence and repression.
