Ukraine’s fight for survival against Russia’s war machine isn’t only taking place in the frozen trenches of its Eastern front. Far from the frontlines around Kharkiv and Kherson, in the capital of Kyiv, there is a cultural front at work, too.
On Dec. 1 – officially the first day of winter – in a snow-covered city under clear blue skies, the Molodist International Film Festival opened its 51st edition.
The venerable international feature and shorts festival was originally founded as a student film showcase in the Soviet 1970s. Now, despite fears earlier this year that it would have to be canceled, organizers put on a shortened, three-day festival program in Kyiv, a month after some sections ran under the aegis of the Hamburg Film Festival in Germany.
Andriy Khalpakhchi, long-time art director of the festival, said the event – which usually runs early summer – had been planned to take place in Kyiv in October,...
