Filmmaker Molotschnikov's creation, "Extremist," featuring Skochilenko, has been shortlisted for the BAFTA student awards.
Hey there! The short film "Extremist," directed by Alexander Molochnikov, is giving the big-league student BAFTA nominees a run for their money. This movie tells the story of artist and activist Sasha Skotchenkova, and it's gainin' quite a bit of attention.
Now, you might be wonderin', "Who's this gal that's got the world talkin'?" Well, Skotchenkova's a real-life activist who ended up in hot water back in St. Petersburg, Russia. On November 16, 2023, she got slapped with a seven-year sentence in a general-regime colony, all thanks to some label switcheroos she pulled in a local store.
Skotchenkova replaced some price tags with leaflets detailing the Military Operation in Ukraine that didn't align with the Russian Ministry of Defense's stance on the matter. After puttin' up quite a fight, she managed to leave Russia as part of a prisoner exchange with the West in 2024.
Mikhail Krichman, who's previously worked with director Andrey Zvyagintsev, took on the production of "Extremist." Actress Victoria Miroshnichenko ("Dylda") and Tina Dalakishvili ("Medea," "Hostages") filled the lead roles in this riveting story.
Since leavin' Russia, Molochnikov's been honin' his skills at Columbia University in the USA. "Extremist" was shot in Latvia. It's also been reported that the film "The Summer Will End" with Yuri Borisov will be gettin' an English-language remake.
