Career

Semyon's film debut took place in 2010. His mother took the 10-year-old Semyon for casting at MTS advertising, which he successfully passed. Before that, there was a year of vain attempts at various advertising castings. In the winter of 2011 he was offered the role of a substitute in the film State of Emergency (2012) by Vsevolod Benigsen. However, seeing Semyon, the director gave him the whole role, which was the first in his filmography. Then followed the role in the film The Night Guest (2011) by Stanislav Nazirov, where Semyon played the son of the main character Kirill.

In the summer of the same year he played in the criminal thriller Steel Butterfly (2012) by Renat Davletyarov in the small but prominent role of the homeless boy Karlik.

In the winter of 2012 came the anthology film Moms (2012), where Treskunov starred in the segment "Operatsiya Mama". Then followed a series of roles in various television series that went unnoticed. In the film I Give You My Word (2013) by Aleksandr Karpilovsky, Semyon played the main role - the pioneer Mishka Khrustalev. The picture was not successful at the big box office, but was warmly received by critics. In particular, the film itself and Semyon received many prizes at various film festivals. He also took part in the television series Traffic Light (2013–14) and Family Business (2014).

The picture directed by Vladimir Kott On the Bottom (2014), based on Maxim Gorky's eponymous play, was first shown in 2014 at the festival "Window to Europe" — in this film Semyon played Luka. The modernized adaptation got a mixed reception. The role of Semyon, did not go unnoticed and gathered mostly positive reviews.

In the summer of 2014, the shooting of the fantasy-comedy Ghost by Alexander Voitinsky was finished in Moscow, where Semyon acted opposite Fyodor Bondarchuk.
