"I'm proud that I presented my first film at Molodist — it was more touching for me than when we were with him in Cannes and at several other festivals. When you're home, when you work here and with your friends, you want to be cool in the place where you live."
Ukrainian singer-rapper supports the FORMA program.
"I am interested in developing what is already happening in Ukraine. If we talk about big projects, Molodist is one of the most worthy, and the FORMA program is about specific experiments, new forms that bring us closer to ourselves.”
Founder and creative director of the Frolov brand supports the Sunny Bunny program.
"This is an important cultural event in Ukraine, in the whole region. With the cinema’s help, Molodist is engaged in educational activities, education in matters of tolerance, in matters of equality. It's the most ethical way to tell different stories because it's not just about the LGBTQ+ community, it's about any people who are different."
