Early life and education

Levitski was born on September 17, 1980, in Verkhovyna, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. He studied archeology at Chernivtsi University before attending film school in Germany.[2]

Career

Levitski is a director, producer, and film maker. In 2006, with screenwriter Oleksiy Khoroshko, Levitski directed the horror Штольня [UK]. Marta Shokalo writing for BBC News Ukrainian noted how unusual it is for a Ukrainian language film to be in a genre other than Ukrainian nationalism.[3] In the film students navigate an underground maze searching for a lost idol of the Slavic god Perun. While many well known critics avoided reviewing the film, those who did largely produced positive reviews.[4]

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),[2] 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].[5]

In 2023, Levitski released the film Follow Me, a documentary about the Shooting of Andrii Bohomaz.[6][7]
