About us
The Ukrainian Film Institute is a non-profit organization established in Irpin, Kyiv region, in 2015, which studies the film industry, the conditions for Ukrainian cinema to enter the global market, legal protection of filmmakers and making social impact films. Our motto is "Global Cinema for the Society of the Future".

Denys Maslikov's statement
Executive Director of the Ukrainian Film Institute, author and leader of the Tribunal Manifesto project
With the Tribunal Manifesto project, we are launching a search for truth and justice together with society to determine where the line is drawn when martial expediency and the legitimacy of restricting the rights and freedoms of citizens in Ukraine degenerates into martial law authoritarianism and impunity of state structures, encroaches on basic unconditional constitutional rights and freedoms, and degrades human dignity.
The Tribunal Manifesto
Guided by the Constitution of Ukraine, namely Article 1, which states that Ukraine is a sovereign and independent, democratic, social, legal state;
Article 3, which states that a person, his or her life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security are recognized in Ukraine as the highest social value, and that the establishment and maintenance of human rights and freedoms is the main duty of the state;
Article 5 stipulates that the people are the bearer of sovereignty and the sole source of power in Ukraine, the people exercise power directly and through state authorities and local self-government bodies, and no one may usurp state power;
Call for open investigation, trial and punishment
The NGO Ukrainian Film Institute calls on the society, civic, human rights organizations and state authorities to openly and comprehensively investigate, prosecute and punish, in accordance with the laws of Ukraine, any individuals, officials of any local, municipal and state organizations and authorities of Ukraine, military structures that have violated the constitutional rights and freedoms of persons liable for military service, military personnel, veterans, families of the dead, missing, captured military personnel, as well as military prisoners during the Anti-Terrorist Operation in eastern Ukraine (2014-2018), the Joint Forces Operation (2018-2022) and during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and martial law throughout Ukraine (since February 24, 2022).
How we help protect the rights and freedoms of the military
The Ukrainian Film Institute is not a human rights organization, although we are familiar with it. Our goal is to help all those in need find lawyers, if you don't have any yet, and secondly, to help move forward the protection of the rights and freedoms of people liable for military service, military personnel, veterans, families of fallen, missing and captured heroes, imprisoned soldiers, when all other methods are ineffective or have not worked at all.

We invite all concerned servicemen, veterans, citizens, lawyers, advocates, human rights defenders, human rights and other civil society organizations, journalists, filmmakers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and businesses to join the Tribunal Manifesto project to jointly achieve our goals.
Let us remember that the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens must be defended in the same way as the statehood, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
