Cinema

Khrzhanovskiy's film work moves between concentrated feature filmmaking and projects that stretch cinema into space, duration, and lived environments.

His debut feature, 4 (Four), established him in the international festival circuit, while DAU became a long-term multidisciplinary undertaking developed across film, architecture, performance, and research.

Khrzhanovskiy co-founded Phenomen Ukraine Ltd. in 2009, Phenomen Berlin Filmproduktions GmbH in 2010, and Phenomen UK Ltd. in 2011. He served as director of Phenomen UK Ltd. from 2012 to 2020; the company was liquidated in 2021.

In 2025, he founded IP Filmworks in France with Philippe Bober.

Released in 2005, 4 (Four) marked Khrzhanovskiy's first feature film and quickly became the work through which international audiences first encountered his cinema.

The film traveled through more than 50 festivals and brought awards for direction, cinematography, and debut filmmaking, while also building a reputation through strong critical responses in the United States and Europe.

Started in 2006, DAU became Khrzhanovskiy's second major production and the central work of the next phase of his career.

Built as a multidisciplinary environment, it brought together feature films, serial forms, installations, performance, science, and architecture before its first public release in Paris in 2019.

A new DAU film was selected for the Competition programme of the Venice International Film Festival in 2026.
