In the creative piggyback of the director, only three pictures, not counting several short films. However, the films of Vasily Sigarev, like the drama "Wolf" and "live" and the tragicomedy "Country of Oz", invariably attracted attention to themselves, becoming a reason for lively discussions. And the jury of film festivals and prizes generously gave the works of cinematographer awards.
On the tapes of the director, laid down in them and related curious facts - in the material 24cm.
