The Ukrainian Film Festival is an annual celebration of contemporary and classic Ukrainian cinema run by the Ukrainian Institute London and held at Curzon Soho.

Through our carefully curated programme, we turn to Ukraine’s culture and cinema to deepen our understanding of the country’s complex history and explore its multifaceted identity. Each year, the festival explores a new concept that allows us to plug into Ukraine’s evolving narrative through its cinema, offering a dynamic platform for both established and emerging filmmakers.

Through Love and Loss

This year’s Ukrainian Film Festival returns with the theme ‘Through Love and Loss’, comprising contemporary features, documentaries, and short films from Ukraine, made over the past two years. These films tell stories of unity, support, courage, acceptance, and, of course, the love and grief Ukrainians are living through.

Why support us?

Supporting the festival is not only an investment in cultural engagement, it is also a meaningful way to stand with Ukraine, demonstrate a commitment to diverse communities, and align with values of compassion, creativity, and public impact.

Your help funds our expanding programme and filmmaker travel. Media & promotional collaboration amplifies our reach across audiences.

The Ukrainian Film Festival in London is the UK’s leading platform for showcasing contemporary Ukrainian cinema. Let’s make it even greater!
