Victoria Kaskova

Victoria is a producer, director and screenwriter with more than ten years of working experience for such TV Channels as National Geographic, Discovery, TV2 Denmark, BBC2 and some others. She is also a co-founder of Panicfilm - a Russia-based documentary production company. While working for the world leading broadcasters, she had the rare opportunity to communicate with the scientists and opinion makers. It involved many hours of interviews with politicians, biologists, physicists, mathematicians, war veterans and even cosmonauts. Over time, the theme of humans and their role in this world became central in Victoria's life and work. It was Victoria who had dug up the unseen before footage and produced a documentary about scandals around Michael Jackson's trip to Russia in 1993. She also became director of the music documentary "Like Heaven in the Heart" - a feature-length film released in the CIS and Europe, dedicated to one of the Russian protest singers - Yuri Shevschuk - and his music band DDT. Victoria was lucky to play the role of a local producer (Russian crew) for "Iraqi Odyssey" - a documentary by Samir - Switzerland's official entry to "the best foreign language film" category for the Oscars in 2016. Back in 1990th, before Victoria Kaskova got high degree in culture anthropology from the Moscow University, she worked as a full-time artist at the October Revolution movie theater where she became famous for drawing a 2x5 meter advertisement billboard with an obscene word - an alternative title of a Russian film called "Sanitary zone". Literally, she became the only person in the world who wrote a huge unquotable word as a part of her routine job and got a reward for it.
