I’m Eugene Aglushevich — a filmmaker and visual artist based in Vancouver.
Born in Russia, I’ve spent much of my life in motion — crossing borders, cultures, and creative disciplines. After years of living and studying in the U.S., I eventually found home on the misty edge of the Pacific, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
My work drifts between the commercial and the deeply personal: music videos, fashion films, narrative shorts, documentaries, performance pieces. No matter the form, I’m always reaching for the same thing — a feeling of connection.
I’m drawn to the quiet in-between spaces. The ache of belonging. The poetry of daily rituals. The silent language between people that often says more than words ever could.
Film became my medium because it holds everything — sound, image, rhythm, truth. Before that, I wandered through theatre, music, painting, and poetry, searching for something that could hold it all. I found it behind the lens.
I believe visual art can transform — not in grand gestures, but in subtle shifts. A moment that lingers. A frame that stays with you. That’s the kind of impact I’m after.
My influences run wide: Marina Abramović’s vulnerability, Renata Litvinova’s surreal femininity, Wong Kar-Wai’s melancholy, Xavier Dolan’s rawness, Villeneuve’s scale, Vallée’s intimacy, Todd Haynes’ precision, Sorrentino’s dream logic. All of them echo somewhere in the background of what I create.
Let the image speak. Let the story breathe. Let it move something.
