Kids Movie Fest is a competition of films made by the children of our planet.
We are the only Ukrainian film festival that has a special nomination for young directors with hearing problems.
Short films (from 1 to 15 minutes) participate in the competition. Films of different genres: feature films, documentaries, music videos, commercials, poems, animation videos.
The festival welcomes films produced by both a group of children and individual independent young directors.

In each workshop, during the two days of the event, children's Ukrainian and international film schools, studios, theaters will present themselves, which help the young generation to try themselves as a director, actor, cameraman and other film professions.
