Kiev: The 36th Molodist

The different sections of the 36th Molodist Film Festival at Kiev were what made the program so excellent because each had a particular strong point. It was not the duty of the festival to premiere the best new films from around the world because Kiev is not an A-list festival and cannot compete in this way. Moreover, it is their prerogative to choose the best films seen at different festivals this year.

However, there is the other side of the festival, the bits that are often left out, the personal reactions and memories outside the film program. Read the flip side of a festival report here.
