IT STARTS WITH CURIOSITY, OR A QUESTION

On listening closely, earning trust, and telling stories beyond the glamorous side of the industry.

Olga Loginova is a documentary filmmaker and journalist from Belarus. Her practice moves between cinema and reporting, shaped by a background that spans acting, theatre directing, and academic research. Her work is grounded in close observation and long-term engagement, often focusing on how individuals and communities navigate social and environmental change. In 2021, she was a Fellow at Columbia Journalism Investigations, where she worked on stories exploring how communities across the United States are experiencing extreme climate conditions. Across her projects, Olga approaches storytelling as a process of listening—allowing narratives to emerge through proximity, time, and attention.
