Myro Klochko

I was born and brought up in Ukraine.

After watching the works of Andrei Tarkovsky and Sergey Parajanov, I fell in love with filmmaking. That’s why I have started studying at FAMU (Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague) at the Department of Directing, where I’ve got my bachelor’s degree.
In 2018, I came back to Ukraine and working there as an assistant of director at Theatre center Word and Voice in Lviv, shooting video as a freelancer.

I’m desperately looking for my own film style. In my last film “Plus One” I worked with actors and non-actors with Down’s syndrome, confronted documentary life with fiction. I’m also interested in poetic and magic realism in films.
