Features Editor

Aleksandr Volkov is interested in what remains after an episode ends: the structure, the character turn, the aftertaste. He writes critical essays and mixed-age film reviews, covers the toy and studio business, follows benefit galas and where the proceeds land, and tracks aesthetics moving from productions into shops and streets.
