Lozova International Film Festival was created with a mission to create conditions for international and inter-regional contacts in the spirit of independent film production, to establish partnerships in the implementation of joint projects, including inter-regional and international levels.

We strive for giving access to contemporary feature lenght and short films from all over the world to Ukrainian viewers so that they can enjoy the work of the leading curators in the industry, get acquainted with the best cinema creations worldwide and in Ukraine.

Moreover, we understand that there is no future without education. Therefore, informal education is one of the festival’s activities and aims to encourage potential filmmakers to expand their knowledge through adopting practices and communication with foreign colleagues
