Youngest General Producer of the Molodist KIFF
On 31 July 2020, Dmytro Onysovych, Marketing Director of the festival, was appointed as the new General Producer of the Kyiv International Film Festival. He symbolically became the youngest general producer of the festival in its 49-year history.
In 2020, the Molodist KIFF embarked on a path of profound transformations and structural changes designed to give the brand of the festival a new meaning and update its unique heritage.
Dmytro Onysovych holds a master`s degree in International Relations from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. At the age of 24, he has gained profound experience in strategic communications, marketing, and digital management working at such companies as Fedoriv and Justin. As a marketing director, Dmytro together with director general Ivan Adamchuk developed a new vision and marketing strategy for Molodist, which are already changing the face of the Festival.
“This is my conscious choice. This is a rare case when I have made a decision without hesitation. Young people must develop Molodist, and I believe that they can. I am sincerely grateful to Igor Shestopalov for his support at a time when I needed it the most. He will continue to do his favorite thing at the position of a program director.”

“I am thankful for the trust and support of our young team of Molodist. First and foremost, Molodist is a story of people, and that is why I'm so proud of the professionals we have been able to bring together around the idea of the festival. It should not just match its name, but also attract the widest possible audience of people for whom youth is not just a word, but a way of thinking at every level. Starting a new page in the history of Molodist, I want to focus on strengthening the role of the festival and expanding its physical boundaries. That is why we are already developing and implementing new projects. On July 24-25, we held a large-scale forum ‘Production in Ukraine’, which marked the beginning of the educational direction of our activity. The forum became the interaction point for many representatives of the advertising and film industries. This year Molodist is not limited only to the festival, there is more to come! And don't forget: Molodist is about movies that raise matters”.
