We are excited to unveil the official poster for the 16th Odesa International Film Festival (OIFF), taking place from September 24 to October 4, 2025, in the heart of Ukraine's capital.
This year's poster reflects the reality of Ukraine: scarred but unbroken, full of strength and unity.
Culture, especially cinema, acts as a vital tool for healing and unifying the nation.
The poster features a symbolic heart accompanying the image of Duke, a representation of Odesa, symbolizing our humanity and empathy. The festival's slogan this year is "Strength in Our Identity."
"The cracks on the poster signify not only trauma but also the new pathways emerging from them. Duke's heart beats in Kyiv, reminding us of our culture and identity," commented OIFF General Director Anna Machukh.
