ABOUT

Dmitri Galitzine is an artist and documentary filmmaker based in the UK. 

 

His work is set within folk culture. It uses the kind of stories people read about in regional newspapers, absurd and amazing, ordinary and epic. Dmitri is romanced by hobbyists and eccentrics; their sheds and garages; their passions and dreams. 

Dmitri’s position between insider and outsider, sets up a vivid social commentary. The socio-politics of little England are addressed through intimate portraits of its communities. He finds the joy in Britishness. Personal stories are given the space to tackle big issues. His films open portals to hidden or overlooked activities; communities where there is a palpable belief in something. A collective belief in one’s dream, even if others are less convinced.
