Polina Varfolomeeva is an international commercial and music-video director turning complex psychological states into tangible cinema.
Raised in Siberia and shaped by her formative years in the United States, she channels personal explorations of emotional duality, displacement, and vulnerability into her narrative films and music videos. Her visual language is defined by expressive locations, tactile sets, kinetic camera work and devotion to analogue techniques. She uses practical SFX and physical character styling to project internal feelings and psychological wounds outward onto the screen.
In commercial filmmaking, Polina elevates agency concepts with dynamic rhythm, playful visual wit, and street-cast authenticity — shifting seamlessly between bold, design-led worlds and intimate, human-centered storytelling.
Her work has earned Silver awards for Direction, Script, and Art Direction at Red Apple and White Square, alongside other international festival selections, and is curated on platforms including Directors' Library and Girls in Film.
