Wiz-Art began with the dream of a group of friends to be able to watch meaningful and interesting movies legally on the big screen. First, they created a festival of the same name, which has been held in Lviv every year since 2008. Later, regular film screenings, Wiz-Art Film School, film production (28 films in 5 years), screenings at European festivals, Days of Ukrainian Cinema were added. And in 2020 – the distribution base of Ukrainian Short Films and online cinema Big Short.

Mission

The main goal of Wiz-Art is to develop the Ukrainian film industry and promote it abroad, and at the same time present high – quality films from all over the world to viewers in Ukraine. The films that we show and support depict the current state of thoughts and ideas in the world and are a response to socio-cultural and political challenges. We believe that through culture, it is possible to achieve tangible progress of society towards tolerance, mutual understanding and mutual respect.
