Nelly Shylova (b. 1990, Yalta, Ukraine) is a filmmaker, photographer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Ireland. She studies Film and Photography at Gorey School of Art (County Wexford, Ireland).

Her debut short film, SELF-PRESERVING NUDITY, is a poetic reflection on exile, loss, and survival, blurring the boundary between documentary and fiction.
