Nadya Surzhan
Nadya Surzhan is an independent filmmaker and cultural interviewer from Ukraine. She has produced and hosted a YouTube channel, "Through My Eyes" (Ukrainian: своїми очима), featuring conversations with philosophers, theologians, musicians, architects, artists, poets, and other thinkers, exploring fundamental questions while preserving the connection to each person’s individual journey. Through these dialogues, she has cultivated a deep interest in human subjectivity, voice, and the interweaving of ideas.
Recently she has created the second YouTube channel, "friends & poems", dedicated to poetry in particular. Cinema has now become her new language — a medium through which she continues to explore human experience, beauty, memory, and meaning.
