This is especially relevant for cinema, while production and distribution process has suffered or almost stopped. Nowadays, the development of cinema, shooting of new films, holding of film festivals, and the promotion of Ukrainian cinema in the world is possible only with the support of the government.

The discourse of the creative economy, which generates one of the highest value-added indicators, should be on the horizon of priorities next year.
