Unveiling the Official Poster for the 16th OIFF
We present the official poster for the 16th Odesa International Film Festival (OIFF), which will be held from September 24 to October 4, 2025, in Kyiv.
This year's poster reflects the current state of Ukraine — scarred and wounded, yet resilient and united.
Culture, especially film, serves as a powerful tool for healing and uniting the nation.
The iconic figure of Duke from Odesa is complemented on the poster by a red heart, symbolizing our humanity, resilience, and empathy. This year's festival slogan is "Resilience in Our DNA".
"The cracks on our poster signify both the marks of trauma and the pathways emerging through them. Some may see a country on fire; others may perceive the nervous system of the nation. But the symbol that unites us is Duke's heart. It beats in Kyiv as a reminder of our identity, sensitivity, and cultural strength," says Anna Machukh, the General Director of the OIFF.
