Katya Mikheeva

Director, Animator and Character Designer

I have been creating animation since 2016. My passion is short animated films.

In 2018, I made the film "Dacha, Aliens, Cucumbers," which successfully traveled the world: it was shown at festivals in South Korea, Estonia, France, Finland, Ukraine, Budapest, Russia, the Netherlands, and Taiwan.

In 2020, I graduated from the animation department at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow and entered the French animation directing school Poudrière. In the same year, I made two films: the documentary short "Can We Talk?" and my graduation project "Cyber-Eva," both of which were selected for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival program.

In 2022, I completed the program at Poudrière with my graduation project "Dans la danse/In the Dance."

In my films, I am practically responsible for the narrative, visual, and animation parts. I am a master of experimenting with artistic techniques and design, attentive to details, and a person of action. I do hip-hop freestyle and believe that my movement practice and animation are complementary and inseparable.
