DOCU/PRO

From an Active Community to an Influential Institution: Introducing the Association of Non-Fiction Film

14 May 2025

We invite you to join an open event on June 11 — the presentation of the Association of Non-Fiction Film as part of the DOCU/PRO industry platform. During the event, you will learn about the activities of this new organization and its development strategies.

The Association of Non-Fiction Film of Ukraine unites creators of audiovisual works based on documentary material, including documentary, hybrid cinema, and docu-animation. At the event, Ukrainian filmmakers — the founders of the initiative, namely: producer Olha Bregman, director and cultural projects curator Nadiia Parfan, director and producer Yelyzaveta Smith, director Ivan Sautkin, and producer Anna Kapustina — will present the Association's strategic directions, including initiatives in advocacy, education, promotion of Ukrainian non-fiction cinema, and international cooperation. The event will serve as a platform for dialogue among industry professionals and an opportunity to discuss the challenges the community faces. All interested participants will be invited to join the Association as new active members.

Admission to the event is free for everyone interested in learning more about the initiative. Detailed information about the event and its participants is available via the link.  

You can find more about events within the DOCU/PRO platform and opportunities for DOCU/PRO industry accreditation on the official website. The full platform program is also available via the link.
