An artist, producer, and director of animated films, he was born in 1970 in Daugavpils, Latvia. Trained as a visual artist, he graduated from art school in Riga and studied animation at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. He has worked in commercial animation\u2014creating content for television stations, music videos, and animated advertisements\u2014and has run his own animation studio, Lunohod, since 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His short animated films (such as Lost in Snow<\/strong><\/em> [2007], Wings and Oars<\/strong> <\/em>[2009], Rainy Days<\/strong><\/em> [2014], and Waiting for the New Year<\/strong><\/em> [2016]) have won awards at festivals worldwide\u2014including in France, Poland, Japan, Germany, Canada, Portugal, Argentina, the USA, and Croatia\u2014and are regularly featured in the programs of major animation events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the years, his films have frequently appeared at the Etiuda&Anima festival. They are short, subversive, sometimes absurd, and always exceptionally precise. His animations possess a hypnotic quality: a simple form that opens the door to a world of strange associations, dark humor, and deeply human emotions. They have the power to amuse, surprise, and arrest one's thoughts in mid-flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vladimir Leschiov created the poster for the 33rd edition of the Etiuda&Anima festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jury member of the ANIMA.PL 2026 competition An artist, producer, and director of animated films, he was born in 1970 in Daugavpils, Latvia.
