Iris Lebedeva
I’m Iris Lebedeva — an actress working across film and theatre.

Gerasimov (VGIK), where I developed a strong foundation in acting techniques and character psychology. I’ve appeared in over 25 film and television projects, including 10 leading roles, as well as leading roles in stage productions.

Biography
For the past three years, I’ve been based in Dubai, where I hold a Golden Talent Visa (UAE). I’m currently working internationally across film and theatre, collaborating on projects in the Middle East and Europe.
Alongside acting, I’ve worked in music videos, commercial and editorial projects, and independent short films, including work as a creative producer. I’m particularly drawn to author-driven cinema and character-focused storytelling.
I continue to develop my practice through work and research, remaining open to new forms, directors, and international collaboration.
