Oksana Blagodareva, Russia
Film critic / journalist, festival director

hello@docfilms.space
I was born in Kyrgyzstan, then my family and I traveled a bit in search of a place to call home. Now, 33 years later, I’ve settled in Serbia with my own family.
I have a background in Journalism and a Master’s degree in Documentary Filmmaking, but for most of my career, I worked as a PR representative.
For the past three years, I’ve been focusing on film criticism, running my own channel dedicated to documentary cinema, and organizing a documentary film festival in Belgrade. Once again, life led me back to documentaries.
