Svetlana Filippova was born in 1968 in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan. Graduating in 1991 from Kazakh State University, she went on to complete The High Course for scriptwriters and film directors as animation film director in 1997. One of the most famous animation women in Russia, this well-known artist features in Animacam three of her movies:
The night has come was her first animation work. The artist, using new amazing technique and introducing novelties in animation view and art- experimenting and using arena technique- tries to explain us a simple message: The night is indivisible, it is same for all, but it is different for each: for a boy in a dark room; for a man who live next door; for a cat on window-sill.
With Sarah's Tale, looking for a different way to tell a universal story, and finding a new picture and image in animation, with amazing drawings and worked background into a black and white production, Svetlana says in the tagline: The rule of the universe: the tree should be planted in order for it to grow; the snow should be cleaned so that spring can come; to find something new, the old one must be lost.
