Olga Dinnikova

I am a Swiss-Latvian actress, director and writer based in Switzerland, working internationally in film and television. I’m particularly drawn to emotionally complex, intimate characters and grounded, realistic storytelling. Growing up between different cultures and languages has strongly shaped both my acting and artistic perspective. Russian is my mother tongue and the language I feel most instinctively connected to as an actress. At the same time, I speak flawless Standard German as well as native-level Swiss German, which allows me to authentically portray both Eastern European and German-speaking characters. I also work in English. Alongside acting, I write and direct my own films, which gives me a strong understanding of storytelling, rhythm and collaboration on set.
