Introducing the jury of the Ukrainian Film Critics of the 22nd Docudays UA

09 May 2025

We continue the tradition of cooperation with Ukrainian film critics, which was started last year. The UUFC’s film critics' jury will choose their favourite film in the national competition DOCU/UKRAINE. The winner will receive a special diploma from the organisation.


The Union of the Ukrainian Film Critics is a Ukrainian non-profit created in 2018 to associate Ukrainian film critics and encourage & develop cinema culture in Ukraine. The UUFC jury works at many Ukrainian film festivals and gives special filmmaking achievement awards.
