The Odesa International Film Festival (Ukrainian: Оде́ський міжнаро́дний кінофестива́ль) is an annual film festival held in the middle of July in Odesa.

Since 2016 the festival program has consisted of three parts: the International competition, National competition and European Documentary competition. The National competition is divided into Features and Shorts.

History

The first Odesa International Film Festival was held from 16–24 July 2010. As part of the Festival, a competitive program of 16 feature films was shown. In total, more than 100 films were presented at the competitive and non-competitive screenings at the festival.[3] For the first 2 years, "Rodina" cinema served as the main venue for the festival as well as the festival center in which competitive screenings and all main events of the festival took place. Since 2012, the main location of the event has been  the Festival Palace of Odesa Theater of Musical Comedy  with 1,260 seats. "Rodina" cinema remains a festival center, which hosts screenings of the Ukrainian national competitive program, non-competitive programs and retrospectives, as well as workshops.

The opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the traditional "red carpet" for film festivals are held at the famous Odesa Opera and Ballet Theatre – one of the most famous architectural monuments of Ukraine.

Festival Center at the Rodina cinema

The festival screenings cover three main venues: the Festival Palace, the Festival Center at the Rodina cinema, and the Stella Artois Green Theater. Also, since 2019, the Multiplex cinema has become one of the festival grounds.

The main festival prize – "The Golden Duke" – an updated version of the eponymous prize created by the  noted Odesa sculptor Mykhailo Reva for the Golden Duke film festival held in Odesa in 1988. For the first two years, the main prize of the Odesa Film Festival was awarded based on the jury's decision. Since 2012, the Grand Prix of the Odesa Film Festival has been awarded according to the results of the audience vote.

The festival has an International jury that evaluates the International Competition Program and awards prizes for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Acting. In 2012 the festival added another competition program  – the Ukrainian National Competition, in which the prize for the best Ukrainian film is decided by the Jury of the National Competition program. Since 2016, the Jury of the European Documentary Film Competition has been choosing the best documentary.

The first festival was attended by over 40 thousand audience members.[4] In the following year, this number increased to over 70 thousand viewers.[4] At the third Odesa Film Festival in 2012, the screenings were attended by about 100,000 spectators, about 4,500 guests and 700 accredited media representatives. The audience of the opening and closing ceremonies was about 3 million people, the program featured 85 films from 40 countries.[5]

Within the framework of the festival, a special project is also developing dynamically – a film school: a series of masterclasses conducted by famous festival guests for students of the film industry and film lovers. The second festival also had an educational direction – "Script Workshop" Interschool ": workshops for a limited number of screenwriters, who were pre-selected in the script competition. At the third festival in 2012, the School of Film Critics operated within the film school.

Later, new directions for film professionals under the auspices of the Film Industry Office appeared at the Odesa Film Festival, including the summer and winter Film Markets, the pitching of completed projects and projects in development (“Work in progress”), and series projects ("EastSeries") as well.

In 2011, on its closing day, the Odesa Film Festival received an award from the authoritative international community of journalists – the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which awards the Golden Globe Award. The honorary award of the festival was presented by HFPA member Gabriel Lerman.[6]

The Fourth Odesa Film Festival took place from 12 to 20 July 2013. Among the innovations was the establishment of a new prize for the best Ukrainian short film.[7] A retrospective of Serhiy Paradzhanov's movies also took place at the 4th festival.

Since 2016, the festival has had a video room in which one can watch films of competition programs. The festival also awards "The Golden Duke" for the contribution to cinematography, which in 2017 was awarded to actress

Ada Rogovtseva[8] and Jacqueline Bisset.[9] At the 10th Odesa Film Festival, the winners of the award were British stage and film director Mike Leigh and the legend of French cinematography, a special guest of the 10th anniversary OIFF, actress Catherine Deneuve. Also, during the anniversary of the 10th OIFF, two honorary statuettes were presented to the Odesa Film Studio on the occasion of its 100th anniversary and the famous satirist Mykhailo Zhvanetsky
, who is a regular guest and friend of the festival.

During the 8th OIFF within the Film Industry Office section, in addition to the traditional pitching of feature films and presentations of motion pictures at the Work in Progress stage, the Odesa IFF ScripTeast Series Projects competition and Actor's Workshop took place.

Due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic will be hosting parts of the OIFF in July 2022 and Prishtina Film Fest in Kosovo will be the host of the Film Festival in Pristina.[10] In 2023, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the festival was held in Chernivtsi.[11]

Non-competitive program

Festival palace

The non-competitive program follows a structure familiar to many film events – a "Festival of Festivals". The films screened include the latest hits of world festivals, retrospectives and exclusive premieres ("Gala Premieres". section) of the more noteworthy works of film art shown in the category of "Special Screenings". This portion of the program also includes screenings of works of national cinematography ("The French Panorama", "Odesa Focus", "Ukrainian Retrospective")

Potemkin Stairs Open-air

Film concert "Battleship Potemkin" at the Potemkin Stairs as part of the First Odesa Film Festival-2010

Perhaps the most noted of all festival events is its open-air screenings on the Potemkin Stairs which are transformed  into a screening venue for one festival evening. During the first OIFF, crowds of viewers marveled at Sergei Eisenstein's masterpiece "Battleship Potemkin"[17] to  the accompaniment of a live symphonic orchestra. This grand affair set the tone for later festival open-air events. In 2011, the Potemkin Stairs, again with a full symphonic orchestra, welcomed Fritz Lang's 1927 masterpiece "Metropolis" for which over two thousand viewers assembled on the stairs.[18]

In 2012, at the third festival, at the Potemkin Stairs, the symphony orchestra accompanied the screening of Charlie Chaplin's "Lights of the Big City," which was presented to the audience by his daughter, actress Geraldine Chaplin.[19] In 2013, the film poem "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" by Friedrich Murnau was shown. Alfred Hitchcock's film "Blackmail" was shown at the Potemkin Stairs as part of the 5th OIFF. During the 6th OIFF, in 2015, there was a screening of the film "Man with a Movie Camera" by Dzyga Vertov, and in 2016 – "Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Bertelet to the music of Donald Sosin accompanied by a symphony orchestra. During the 8th OIFF, the Potemkin Stairs screened Julien Duvivier's 1930 film "The Ladies' Delight" based on Émile Zola`s novel of the same name. The show was accompanied by the music of  Canadian composer Gabriel Thibodeau, vocal parts were performed by soloist Sophie Fournier.

The second OIFF gave the audiences another open-air venue – The Langeronovskiy Descent, where nightly films were screened for audiences underneath the night sky. Since 2017 instead of Langeronovskiy Descent screenings took place at Odesa Green Theatre in

Shevchenko Park.[20]

At the festival in 2014, a fundraiser was held for Ukrainian director

Oleg Sentsov
, illegally convicted and imprisoned in Russia.

In 2019, on the occasion of the anniversary of the festival, two open-air performances took place on the Potemkin Stairs. On 13 July, the cult film "Cossacks" (1928) produced by MGM was shown to the audience at the Potemkin Stairs. And on 19 July, the guests of the OIFF saw Vlad Troitsky's unique musical media-performance opera "Stairs to ...". This show was created specifically  for the anniversary Odesa International Film Festival. Open-air screenings were also waiting for the audience at the Green Theater – in particular, on the 6th day of the film festival, a German film, a classic of silent cinema, " The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" by Robert Wiene was shown. A special performance at the Green Theater was accompanied by a performance by the British musical trio The Tiger Lillies[21]

Professional events

Film Industry Office (Pitch/Work in Progress)

The Film Industry Office section was established as a platform for professional communication, support and development of Ukrainian film projects and the film industry in general, as well as for the presentation of the Ukrainian film industry to the international community.

The section includes pitching of feature film projects that are at the pre-production stage, as well as presentations of Work in Progress projects – feature films in the final stage of production, scheduled for cinematic screening.

Participants in the section can be distributors, buyers, festival selectors, representatives of film establishments and specialized film companies, investors, filmmakers (actors, directors, screenwriters, cameramen, production artists), producers.

Movie market (winter and summer)

OIFF also holds two film markets annually – in winter and summer. OIFF Film Market is a professional communication platform for distributors, representatives of cinemas, film studios, and companies that provide rental and other services. In 2017–2018, Anna Machukh was the director of the Odesa International Film Festival Film Market.

Summer Film School

Summer Film School

The Summer Film School program was established for students of film schools and other types of learning establishments who consider themselves lovers of the film arts.

During the daytime, the U-Cinema Theater on the property of the Odesa Film Studio, serves as a forum for master-classes organized for the members of the Summer Film School. Lectures and discussions are led by world cinema industry professionals – guests of the festival. In the evenings, this and other theaters serve as screening venues for the festival program. In the later evenings, members of the Summer School participate in parties and other festivities.

In the course of the first Odesa Film Festival master classes were given by Hollywood actors

Aleksander Mitta; actor Jerzy Stuhr,[24] film connoisseur Naum Kleiman and others.[25]

The Summer Film School students were eligible for discount tickets to all festival screenings as well as lodging in the festival tent-city on a separate property near the Odesa Film Studio. During the nighttime hours, DJ parties and other events were organized.

Since 2016, the type of festival accreditation "Summer Film School" has not been  used. Also, similarly to  the Summer Film School, a series of educational events under this name was last held in 2016 at the 7th OIFF. However, master classes and creative meetings are held during the festival and entry is simplified – you can reserve a seat with  any type of accreditation.

Evening parties

Vibrant evening parties serve as conclusions to busy OIFF days. These parties are held at beach clubs on the Odesa seacoast or restaurants. These events present opportunities for informal mingling between festival participants and the enjoyment of various shows and presentations.

The venues offer varied and exciting entertainment from elite jazz evenings to public concerts of popular bands and DJs. Entrance to festival parties is free to all holders of OIFF badges.

Criticism

Criticism of the pro-Russian nature of the festival

Formally, the festival positions itself as "Ukrainian", although some film critics have previously accused it of being "pro-Russian". For example, at the 2nd OIFF, most of the tapes at the festival were with subtitles in Russian, but since 2014 the festival's program department has abandoned Russian-language subtitles, leaving subtitles exclusively in Ukrainian and English.

Geng Jun, the director of "Free and Easy" that took part in a competitive program in 2018, said: “During the presentation of my film, I paid attention to Ukrainian subtitles and felt a great pleasure. If the film is also translated into Ukrainian, it will be incredible.”[26] Describing the results of the 2nd OIFF (2011), Valentyna Klymenko, a film critic for the newspaper "Ukrayina Moloda" ("Young Ukraine"), stated that only Russian subtitles were present in almost all films and noted with regret that it was possible to get headphones with simultaneous Ukrainian translation by "pledging your passport or driver's or journalist's license. Tolerant."[27]

Commenting on the 6th OIFF (2015), the director and founder of the Ukrainian Film Club, Professor of Linguistics at Columbia University (USA) Yuri Shevchuk in his article "Odesa International Film Festival: a parade of Russian glamor" in the  Telekrytyka magazine explores OIFF strategies, its program, language, and image policy. The author questioned the "Ukrainianness" of the film festival, criticizing the dominance of Russianness in it (Russian-speaking presenters, Russian-language titles in films, etc.) and noted that "only by becoming Ukrainian in form and content, the Odesa Film Festival will finally become truly international."[28] Later, in a comment to Hromadske Radio, Shevchuk noted that “the Odesa festival lacks self-awareness in the non-provincial dimensions. It insists on its Russianness ". He also emphasizes that " the festival has a fantastic potential if it realizes itself as the gateway to the Ukrainian national cinematography. "[29]

Remark of the president of the festival about the "civil war in Ukraine"

During the opening of the 8th OIFF (2017), OIFF President and Co-Founder

Viktoria Tigipko mentioned  the "civil war in Ukraine." The reaction of the Ukrainian public to this statement was extremely negative, and later many Ukrainians took to social media to express their indignation at Victoria Tigipko's story to foreign guests of the film festival about the "civil war in Ukraine".[30][31] Tigipko later stated that her words were "interpreted out of context" and that she was only trying to use terminology familiar to foreign festival guests.[32]
