Kristina Zakharova, who uses the pseudonym “motornina”, worked as a photographer and designer for albums by the band Lyapis Trubetskoi, as well as on clips for Vasily Pochitsky, a cult figure in the Minsk underground. Since 2007, she has applied herself to diapositive filmstrips, which she works with in a cinematographic context.
Motornina’s first two short films, Diafilm No. 1 and Diafilm No. 2, about an unfortunate young man (played by Alexey Baranov, sometimes known as Lyoshka Tsakhes and also the author of the dazzling scripts), took the Grand-Prix and the audience prize at the Megapolis festival of amateur film (St. Petersburg, 2009).
