Molodist Kyiv International Film Festival

18. June 2024

FILMFEST HAMBURG will once again host the Molodist Kyiv International Film Festival (1 – 4 October 2024), which will present its national competition with Ukrainian feature-length films as part of FILMFEST HAMBURG. Festival organisers and Ukrainian directors will come to the Hanseatic city to present their films in person at the Passage cinema.

The Molodist Kyiv International Film Festival was founded in 1970 as a student festival and still sees itself today as a festival for young cinema. The aim of the team under the direction of Andriy Khalpakhchi is to uncover important trends in the development of young cinema and to help up-and-coming filmmakers find their way on the world cinema map. The festival, which has a recognised specialised international competition for newcomer films, has welcomed renowned directors in recent years, including Tom Tykwer, Francois Ozon, Bruno Dumont, Danny Boyle, Lucas Mudisson, Ildiko Enyedi and Jacques Audiard.

FILMFEST HAMBURG takes place this year from 26 September to 5 October. For ten days, the latest films from all over the world will be screened. The complete programme will be announced on 10 September.
