Alexandra Likhacheva

director

By first education I’m a painter, by second – film director. Graduated from Aleksei Uchitel’s faculty in VGIK in 2011. But all my life I learn from my parents and read books. In fifth grade father explained me Lobachevskian geometry. Mother showed me Bosch, Bruegel, «Los Caprichos», «Exorcist». Grandmother Sasha from Leningrad smoked cigarettes, read Mayakovsky, walked in the sea and taught me play cards. Grandmother Luba placed me in a choir and in a fencing school. And only grandfather let me wear his long T-shirts and watch cartoons. And then I turned twelve.
