Buoyed by the support of new cultural institutions, Ukraine’s national cinema has blossomed since 2014, developing into an important outlet for political and artistic discourse. This new cinematic culture celebrates Ukrainian nationhood and identity, two themes awoken by the Revolution of Dignity. As such, contemporary Ukrainian filmmakers are increasingly tackling difficult themes in the country’s recent history, both as a product of and guide for the cultural zeitgeist and national conversation.

The country has held several democratic elections but largely failed to address state control and corruption in its economy. Since the 2014 Maidan Revolution, Ukraine has undertaken significant economic reform and moved decisively toward a Europe-focused foreign policy.
