Ukraine: Kyiv 15 Years in Shorts
Ukrainians are tired of saying it, but it remains true: we live in historic times. Over the 15 years of the Kyiv International Short Film Festival (KISFF), Ukraine has lived through the Revolution of Dignity, Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territories, and the full-scale invasion.

A new wave of Ukrainian cinema emerged alongside these events. For KISFF’s 15th anniversary, we invited friends of the festival — critics, journalists, film scholars, and curators — to select five short films that reflect how both Ukrainian cinema and Ukrainian society have changed between 2010 and 2025.
