Oleg Senstsov is a Ukrainian film director and Crimea native who won wide acclaim in 2011 for his docudrama "Gaamer," which was featured in film festivals in Rotterdam, Wiesbaden and Odessa.

He was arrested on May 11, 2014 for publicly standing up for Ukraine when Russian troops occupied Crimea at the end of February. He carried food to Ukrainian soldiers and organized convoys of cars flying Ukrainian flags to protest against Russia's takeover.

His lawyer, Dmitry Dinze, spoke via Skype with Odessa Film Festival organizers on June 11, 2014 about Oleg's imprisonment, and what he's demanding from Oleg's captors.
