Monika Lieva, 19 years old.
I’m originally from Ukraine and currently living in Paris.I am fluent in French, Ukrainian, Russian, and English.I began working in theatre and film at the age of 14. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to take part in several short films, TV series episodes, and two feature films — including one recently shot in Paris, where I played a leading role in the film directed by Ukrainian filmmaker Vincent Mettel.
Since moving to France, I’ve continued acting in independent projects, both in French and English. I’m deeply drawn to sensitive, complex, sometimes ambiguous or mysterious roles. I love exploring what lies behind silences, glances, and gestures.
I’m especially inspired by the cinematic worlds of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, and Damien Chazelle filmmakers who dare, who question, and who move us.
