Hosting the first edition of ‘Best of Europe’ in Kyiv is not only a celebration of cinematic excellence but also a powerful gesture of unity and resilience. We are honored to welcome these outstanding films to Ukraine and to engage in the cultural dialogue that FACE represents.” Anna Machukh, Co-founder and Executive Director of the Ukrainian Film Academy, General Director of the Odesa International Film Festival
