The "OKO" Festival will be held online on September 11-18 on the film festival's website www.okofilmfest.com.ua, and on September 16-18- offline in Bolgrad


OKO is a film festival that takes place in the beautiful Ukrainian region of Bessarabia. It unites filmmakers and film buffs; it is a feast of ethnographic and anthropological documentary (although not exclusively) cinema, where you can see and feel the daily heartbeat of small and large nations and communities, dwellers of villages and cities. It is also a platform where filmmakers, folklorists, and ethnographers can get to know each other better, share ideas, and develop future mutual projects.

In the meantime, you can not miss the new, rare, lively cinema that appears on short hours of online broadcasts, the programs of the contestants of the past years, collected by the most experienced selectors. Here is the programme.
