One of Russia’s most prominent directors and creator of How I Spent My Summer, Aleksey Popogrebsky, will help judge the talent entered at the Sundance Film Festival from Jan. 19 to 29.

The 39-year-old psychology graduate made his name by mastering the art of psychological dramas. Her sophomore film, How I Spent My Summer, picked up the award for Best Film at the 54th BFI London Film Festival and two Silver Bears at the Berlinale in 2010.
