Ukrainian Film Festival kicks off in Poland on Nov 2, with 50 films to be screened in 12 cities

Beata Bieronska-Lach, director of the Ukraine! Film Festival, announced this in an interview with Ukrinform. According to her, despite the full-scale war, Ukraine's film industry continues to develop, particularly thanks to international cooperation and foreign funding. "Every year, I worry about whether we will have enough Ukrainian films and whether there will be anything to screen. I fear that film production might grind to a halt under wartime conditions... However, my concerns have proved unfounded: Ukrainian films are being made. If not directly in Ukraine, then through numerous international co-productions. Ukrainian filmmakers have started looking for funding abroad, and they are succeeding.
