Career

Levitski is a director, producer and film maker. In 2006, with screen writer Oleksiy Khoroshko, Levitski directed the horror Штольня [UK]. Marta Shokalo writing for BBC News Ukrainian noted how unusual it as for a Ukrainian language film be in a genre other than Ukrainian nationalism.[2] In the film students navigate an underground maze searching a lost idol of Slavic god Perun. While many well known critics avoided reviewing the film, those who did largely produced positive reviews.[3]

Levitski has produced television commercials, as well as working on the films: Штольня (English: Stolnya, 2006), Ломбард [UK] (Pawnshop, 2013), Тіні незабутих предків [UK] (Shadows of Unforgotten Ancestors, 2013), Хранитель шляху (Guardian of the Path, 2015), Smash (2015), #SelfieParty [UK] (2016), as well as short films Обійми мене (Hug Me, 2009) and 20 доларів (20 Dollars, 2007)[1] and the 2021 comedy Скажене весілля 3 [UK] (Crazy Wedding 3). In 2007, his film Штольня (Stolnya) won Best Trailer, Best Poster and Best Advertising Slogan at the IV Kyiv International Film Forum Ukraine, dubbed the Ukrainian Oscars by the media publication Telekritika [UK].[4]
