Ukrainian director Oksana Voitenko (L) receives an award for her debut short film “Hideout,” the winner of the National Competition program, during the awards ceremony of the 49th Molodist Kyiv International Film Festival on Aug. 30, 2020. Molodist has been a welcoming platform for young filmmakers since it was founded in 1970.

Molodist is not just Ukraine’s oldest film festival. It has been breaking cinematic ground for 50 years, and its influence extends far beyond Ukrainian borders.

By supporting rising filmmakers, Molodist Kyiv International Film Festival, whose name means “youth” in Ukrainian, shone the spotlight on many talents, who would later be recognized by the whole world — from Oscar-winning Belgian director Alain Berliner to British director Danny Boyle, the creator of “Trainspotting.”
