The aim of the Charity Foundation Initiative for the Future, which I founded in 2012, is the
support of talented creative youth in arts, cinema, innovations. Those young talents will be able to
build new, modern and competitive Ukraine, while the cinema is universal, lucid and
comprehensible tool for achieving this important mission. The project Watch Ukrainian create
your future! represents an innovative approach to the creation of short films dedicated to actual
issues of Ukrainian society, to rethinking of traditional values and forming of the modern ones. In
order for each citizen of Ukraine to feel as part of the whole, he should receive an informational
impulse and a clear message. Im confident, that the short films, created by dozens cinema makers
under this project will allow not only attract the new audience to the cinema theaters, but will also
contribute to the reuniting of our society with one mission to build happy future for Ukraine!.

The contest went through two-stage selection process: after the submission deadline (22.01.2017), a
jury comprising 16 experts selected 100 best works among 412 that passed the moderation. Then, a
broader jury of 84 experts has chosen the winning scenarios, which will be proceeded for

project:
This is a social and charitable project, developing by support of philanthropists and partners who
share the mission and core values of the project. The main question we had to answer was: what do
we want to shoot cinema about?! What exactly do we want to show to the audience?! We elaborated
the themes for the contest (for more information visit http://www.kinoua.org) around life-affirming
stories that inspire and empower people to change the future by their own hands. We would like our
movies to transmit a positive and inspiring message in artistic form, but putting the spectators
interest to the first place and subsequent reflections to the second.

cinema theaters and socially-responsible businesses, media, well-renown creative personalities
