Ukraine - Event

Established in 1970, the Molodist Kiev International Film Festival both supports young filmmakers and highlights the Ukrainian film industry. Visits by world-famous guests help to put the spotlight on Eastern European cinema.

Molodist means "youth" in Ukrainian, and the films screened illustrate new cinematic trends. Young directors of both shorts and features from around the world compete in the categories of student and first professional film.

International guests and jury members are invited each year. 2009's venue is Kyiv Cinema with other locations outside Kiev also screening films.
