Kantemir Balagov

Kantemir Balagov (Nalchik, 1991) was born in the autonomous Russian Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. He undertook studies in Economy and Law, and created several mini-series shot on a still camera until in 2011 he entered Alexandr Sokurov’s film school in his hometown. After directing several short films, armed with a feature script and Sokurov's help, Balagov was able to raise the necessary funds to make Closeness, which premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard 2017, earning him a FIPRESCI prize, and was the winner of LEFFEST’ 17 Best Film Award. Beanpole is his second feature film.
