Thank you to all those who submitted entries into the inaugural “Ukrainian Youth Short Film Festival”.
As it is an innovation that has caught some unprepared for all the work that has to go into producing and submitting, in order to include those who are still making an effort to participate, the deadline has been extended to MONDAY 20th May 5 pm.
There will be no further extensions. We look forward to announcing the winners at the AFUO National Ukrainian Festival in Sydney in June.

Ukrainian Youth Short Film Competition 2013
“I am Ukrainian” You are invited to interpret this phrase by making a short film and express how you see your Ukrainian identity and heritage.
The films must be original and can be realistic, experimental, digital manipulations, humorous, animations or serious: above all, personal, creative and entertaining, opening our eyes to the way young people see what “being Ukrainian” means to them.
