Join us for TWO nights of freaking great Ukrainian short films.

It’s about time the world knew about the Ukrainian film industry and the great talents it encompasses. Enough with all the bad news we’ve all heard about in the past two years, it is time to celebrate these filmmakers’ exceptional works!

This event has been organised in collaboration with CUC – Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema, a collective of young Ukrainian filmmakers, who want to change their country’s film industry for the best and support emerging artists.
I would also like to thank NosphereFilms and Directory Films – two Ukrainian production houses – for their help and excitement.

Programmer: Silvio Barca
