Biography
Russian experimental filmmaker Dmitri Frolov is known for his abstract, atmospheric films that explore themes of memory, time, and existential reflection through minimalist visual storytelling. Frolov was born in Leningrad on February 27, 1966. In 1990, he graduated from the University of Cinema and Television.[clarification needed] A screenwriter, director and cameraman, Frolov took part in more than 30 short films. He was included in several domestic film festivals – including Kinoshok in Anapa, Pure Dreams in St. Petersburg, and Cine Phantom Fest in Moscow – and foreign ones. He also shot music videos for the group Auktsion, and worked as the senior operator of the TV channel 100TV.[1]
He makes aesthetic experiments connecting with return to silent cinema on new level of film language.[2]
He is a laureate of the National Award "TEFI-2008" in the nomination "Operator of a TV film / series".[3]
In 2022 he won the special festival mention award at the first season of Casablanca Film Factory Awards.[4]
