Ukrainian journalist and producer, whose career in film and TV began with news reporting and highlighting of armed conflicts and their consequences in Liberia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tunisia and eastern Ukraine. Such stories were difficult to compress into 2-minute slots, so Akim started to experiment with larger forms. Made a few documentary films for the TV channel “1+1” and heads the department for journalistic projects “1+1 Production”. For the past 2 years, his realised projects have been awarded with “Teletriumph” as the best documentary films.

Photographed and created video invitations and reports for the events of the Poltava Art Association “Magnum Opus”, in which she combined her passion for photography and film with literature. This is how the video projects “People Read” and “#Vstol” were born. Then – the first Video Academy, short film “Alive and Undefeated”, the “DocuDays” festival and realisation of an overwhelming desire to make documentary films.

Now a student at the UCU School of Journalism and the second DOCemotion Video Academy.

Graduated from the Faculty of Film and Television Arts in Kharkiv and from the UCU School of Journalism in Lviv. Enjoys working with video at all stages of production: from an idea to editing.
