Marichka Lukianchuk (b. 1997) is a Ukrainian film director, editor, and writer. In 2021, she graduated from the Interdisciplinary Arts program at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) with her short film Past Future Mountain, shot in the Carpathian Mountains in collaboration with the Hutsul community. After the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Marichka relocated from Kyiv to Berlin, where she completed a residency at the Harun Farocki Institut and created the mid-length film Between Before and After about the war’s psychological and cultural impact.

​

Marichka recently finished «97», a performative short film reflecting on the uncontrollability of death and love, and is currently developing several projects: NOVYNA (co-directed with Anna Mrachkovska), a short film about a 19th-century peasant facing famine and despair, and Birds Sing Underwater, a feature set during the Holodomor, now in script development.

​

Marichka’s short films have been screened internationally. Working in a mythopoetic language, she explores social issues, collective memory, and the intersections of Ukrainian identity, history, and culture. She views filmmaking as a medium where various arts converge—bringing together performance, dance, theatricality, and poetry. As an editor, she has collaborated with Costa Compagnie (Kharkiv Calling), Berlin Story Bunker, the Goethe-Institut, and Untitled Tbilisi/In the Mountains Festival, and others.
