Ukrainian State Film Agency

The Ukrainian State Film Agency (Ukrainian: Державне агентство України з питань кіно; romanization: Derzhavne ahentstvo Ukrayiny z pytanʹ kino), known in short as Derzhkino (Ukrainian: Держкіно), is the central executive body of cinematography in Ukraine. It was created in 2006.

Pylyp Illenko was the agency's chair from August 2014 until his resignation in August 2019.[1][2][3]

Criticism

DerzhKino prioritizes funding for so-called patriotic projects.[5] To qualify, DerzhKino requires that Ukrainian or Crimean Tatar language account for 90% of a film's total dialogue, in order to counteract the dominance of Russia's state-sponsored patriotic film industry.[5] An article at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported that "Some have likened the Derzhkino criteria to the sort of censorship that exists in authoritarian countries like Russia".[5]
