Student Resources

2026 - Polly Chesnokova

Polly Chesnokova is an LA and NYC-based cinematographer originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. They're drawn to the intersection of technology and lens arts through medium mixing and boundary-pushing storytelling. They hold a BA from Dartmouth College and are currently pursuing their MFA in Cinematography at AFI. Coming up through the camera department, they worked internationally for clients including Dior, Marc Jacobs, Genesis, Spotify, and UMG. Their narrative films have screened at festivals across the US and abroad, and their feature documentary in production was selected for the Camerimage Talent Demo. Polly is a recipient of Gotham’s Joel Schumacher/Sophia Cranshaw MTV Mentorship Award and the Sudler Prize In The Arts. Now in their final year of graduate school, they’re preparing for an LED volume wall project, completing pre-visualization in Unreal Engine and exploring the intersections of technology and art in virtual production.
