At the age of 24, Ukrainian director Serhii Sasin died of a serious illness.
This was reported by Suspilne Kultura with reference to a post by the artist’s brother Facebook.
Serhiy Sasin was born on May 23, 2001 in Kyiv. “Despite his young age, he managed to make a significant contribution to the development of modern Ukrainian art,” the message reads.
The artist worked at the Kyiv Academic Theater of Drama and Comedy on the left bank of the Dnieper, held the position of head of the literary and dramaturgical department, coordinated work with young artists and developed new theater projects.
Sasin rose to fame as the director of Nesmiyana (2022), a film about 13-year-old dancer Lesya, who seeks freedom in the world of her own imagination. The picture became a notable statement on the themes of psychological vulnerability and growing up.
The artist died after a long battle with cancer. Colleagues remember Serhiy as an extremely bright person and a professional who had a subtle sense of drama and knew how to create deep images even in a short meter.
We will remind you that on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, Vladyslav Kyrychenko, the founder of the publishing house “Nash Format” and the public organization “Reformation”, passed away. He was 57 years old, the cause of death was cancer.
