Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema

Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema (СУК) is a Ukrainian film production collective and community. According to its official website, it presents itself as a team of already successful filmmakers who believe in Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema, aiming to turn Ukraine's chaotic cinematographic process into an actively and purposefully developing industry, and acting as a single platform for popularizing and supporting young Ukrainian filmmakers. Its about page states that co-founders Filip Sotnychenko and Valeriia Sochyvets independently created the short film Syn without financing in 2013, and in 2014 organized and registered the community, the public organization "Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema 'SUK'." From 2015 it organized over 200 screenings of Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema programs and compiled short-film almanacs; from 2016 "SUK" was registered as a LLC and takes part in state competitions for film creation.
