ABOUT

Mikhail Barynin

Filmmaker, screenwriter, editing director.

​​​​​​​For over 15 years, I’ve journeyed across Russia — from the Arctic tundra to Central Asia — and to remote corners of the world, documenting cultures, lives, and individuals rarely seen on screen. My films explore the human experience through themes of resilience, isolation, identity, and survival.

At the heart of any successful documentary project lies a story: a protagonist with an interesting destiny, entangled in an unknown collision, widely unknown to the public. The ability to discover and unravel such stories is the main skill of a good documentary filmmaker.
