Gregory Gan was born in 1984 in the Soviet Union. He has trained in visual anthropology and filmmaking at the University of British Columbia (PhD Anthropology 2019), Memorial University of Newfoundland (MA Visual Anthropology 2010), Ryerson University (Continuing Education in Film 2007), and the University of Toronto (HBA Anthropology 2006). His academic research has covered the themes of intellectual history, anthropology of gender, new religious movements and material culture. His current media projects include building a multimedia digital archive on the material culture of Russian transnational migration, and a contemporary interpretation of a marionnette puppet play, Petrushka, created using 3D animation.
