KyivMusicFilm started with short films — our very first screening in Kyiv brought music shorts from the legendary La Blogothèque project. Ten years later, we’ve come full circle with a brand-new short film program dedicated to music in all its forms. Will Moses discover K-pop? Who's cooler — Oasis or Blur? A detached look at a heavy metal festival in France. The side effects of an electronic music overdose. Personal stories, noise, rhythm, and silence. This program is a cinematic mixtape made of voices, scenes, and moods from across the music universe.
🎤 Films are screened in their original language, without Ukrainian subtitles.
❗ These films may contain potentially triggering or disturbing elements, such as loud music, flashing lights, and foul language.
