The Odesa International Film Festival (OIFF), which will take place this year from September 24 to October 4 in Kyiv, has announced the start of selling festival passes.
According to the festival organizers, the passes provide an opportunity to attend all screenings of the festival by prior reservation or subject to availability, as well as to attend master classes within the festival (according to the same scheme). The cost of the festival pass is 1.5 thousand hryvnias until August 15, 2025 inclusive. Starting from August 16, it will be 1.9 thousand hryvnias.
The pass gives you access to the premieres of films that have not yet been released or will remain festival exclusives.
"You will see the best Ukrainian and European cinema and feel the atmosphere of the OIFF, which annually brings together thousands of viewers," the organizers emphasized.
This year's OIFF will be the sixteenth edition. The festival program will include two main competition sections: national Ukrainian and international European programs, which will showcase the best films of Ukrainian and European production.
The 15th Odesa International Film Festival was also held in Kyiv. It screened 12 films in three locations.
In 2023, the festival was held in Chernivtsi, and only special programs were screened in Odesa.
Also, the Odesa location hosted a special program "Best European Films from OIFF" as part of the 14th Odesa International Film Festival. The program included festival hits, including participants and winners of Cannes, Berlin, Venice and other international film festivals.
In 2022, the Odesa Film Festival was held in a different format than usual and in several countries around the world.
Thus, on October 14-23, 2022, the film festival was held within the framework of the 38th Warsaw International Film Festival under the title "Odesa - Warsaw: Ukrainian Competition" and showed 11 feature films.
