Mr. Mikhail Illienko, filmmaker, screenwriter

The "Watch Ukrainian" in its content goes beyond the frames of the Project. Its scales are wider. According to its strategy, the "Watch Ukrainian" project coincides with the vector of the "Open Night" film festival: "WE - FOR US - ABOUT OURSELVES". The hunger on domestic cinema has been felt for a long time. The need to return the domestic cinema to our own screens is obvious to me, as well as the logic of addressing our viewer: after the Holodomor, it is necessary to feed them with small portions of healthy and simple food. The "Watch Ukrainian" project is an extremely relevant Project. The idea is absolutely transparent, noble. Without this, without the viewer's love for us, we will not return our movies to the screen.
