OKO is the only international ethnographic film festival in Ukraine, founded in 2020. Its mission is to promote ethnographic, anthropological, and "post-ethnographic" cinema, exploring traditions, culture, historical memory, and contemporary challenges of different nations. The festival takes place annually and has a unique geographical format: it is held both in Ukraine (Kyiv, Bolhrad, Odesa region) and Bulgaria (Sofia). This makes OKO a cultural bridge between Ukraine and Bulgaria, fostering international dialogue and integrating Ukrainian cinema into the global context.
