Ilya Iosifov, a young but already famous theatre and movie actor, a student of IGUMO Drama Department.
In the first year of my study at IGUMO I made my debut in a movie and immediately rolled one of the main parts in the film «Yunkera». My classmate A. Simonyants was also filmed there. Then I got some other job offers. During the years of my study I played parts in films 15 times. It was hard work in the film series «Tatyana’s Day», «Katya», «Bullet fool» (it was there and then that I met Art Director of IGUMO Drama Department Vladimir Borisovich Korenev, People's Artiste of Russia). Yu.V. Klepikov, our course master, helped me a lot in my self- implementation. I also take parts in theatrical performances. I sincerely wish my Institute and my beloved Drama Department good progress and full development.
