Dina Korzun studied at the Moscow Art Theatre (MXAT) in Russia. After graduating, she made her professional debut in Love in The Crimea, and won the Best Actress award at the 1995 Moscow Theatre. Dina’s first film role was as Yaya in Valery Todorovsky's Land of the Death. Her stunning performance won her the Russian equivalent of the Oscar (the Nika) and the Golden Ram for Best Actress from the Moscow Film Critics. Three years later she was cast as the lead in Pawel Pawlikowski's internationally acclaimed BBC production, Last Resort. The film won the Michael Powell Award for Best New British Feature at the 54th Edinburgh Film Festival, and Korzun won the Best Actress awards at the Gijon (Spain) International Film Festival and Thessaloniki (Greece) Film Festival. Since then, she has continued working in film, most recently in The President’s Grand Daughter, directed by Tigran Keossaian, The Road, directed by Natalia Petrova and Theory of Drunkeness, directed by Natalia Pogonitcheva. She was also cast as the lead in Sergei Sniejkin's ambitious 20 episode television series, "Woman Romance." Shot entirely in St. Petersburg, the series was commissioned by Russia's ORT channel and began airing in December 2003.
