Anna Popova
About me
Biography
I was born in Moscow, Russia, and my passion for media began early. In high school, I founded my school’s first radio station and produced programs for our student TV channel, turning storytelling into a creative platform for discussion and exploration.

This passion led me to pursue a degree in Media Production & Management at HSE Moscow, where I’ve been developing my expertise in documentary filmmaking, media narratives, and cultural identity. My academic journey has been enriched by a minor in Contemporary Art History and Exhibition Studies, allowing me to approach visual storytelling with a deep understanding of media aesthetics and cultural representation.

With experience in video production, research, and multimedia storytelling, my work challenges perceptions and uncovers overlooked narratives. Whether through documentary film, digital media, or investigative projects, I strive to blend cinematic storytelling with critical analysis, exploring the blurred lines between reality, myth, and media influence.
