ADAMSKA ELIZAVETA RAKHILKINA
Adamska Elizaveta Rakhilkina is a Russian-American, award-winning filmmaker, film educator, visual artist, and essayist. Adamska’s art practice operates as a speculative history of queer utopian world-building, where empathy and anarchy meet — and then make out. Their films range from docufiction to pornography and have been shown at NewFest (New York), the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle), and Allouche Gallery (New York), among others. They are currently based in Berlin.
No Refunds, 2025, Short film
No Refunds is a visceral, tangled descent into the transactional dynamics of intimate encounters, told through the language of bodies, sheets, and reflections, where the purchase of queer sex work is laid bare. As the filmmaker simultaneously takes on the roles of client and audience, the boundaries between documentary and performance fade, unraveling the artifice at the heart of sex work and the act of filmmaking.
