Fedor Kurekhin, born in St. Petersburg and now based in Berlin, works across film, theatre, and writing. He studied at Smolny College of St. Petersburg University / Bard College and trained as a theatre director at the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts, in Andrey Moguchiy's class. His work — on screen, on stage, and on the page — keeps returning to dislocation, post-memory, war, Russian toxic masculinity, and everyday absurdity, often built from a raw, DIY approach to archives, footage, and AI. As a theatre director he favors non-theatrical spaces — forests, winter beaches, rooftops — and has directed ceremonies for the Sergey Kuryokhin Contemporary Art Award. He is also the author of several novels. Wrong Movement, the independent DIY film company behind these projects, was founded in 2025.
