8 pictures to watch at Molodist film festival

Ukraine’s oldest film festival, Molodist, has not quaked under the pressure of the pandemic — it will open on May 29 for its 50th annual screening.

Also known as Molodist Kyiv International Film Festival, the event was launched in 1970 for the students of Kyiv State Institute of Theatrical Arts to showcase their work. It has since grown to become an international platform spotlighting global trends of young cinema development and rising professional filmmakers.
