The Ukrainian Film Academy selected 48 projects that will receive Netflix funding for script creation. A total of 717 projects participated in the program – 57 documentaries, 190 game series and 370 feature films. The initiative of the Netflix Fund for Creative Equity and the Ukrainian Film Academy is designed to help Ukrainian artists in Ukraine and around the world who have suffered or been displaced by the war.

48 Ukrainian teams consisting of a producer and a screenwriter will receive grants in the amount of $15,000 for script development, as well as the opportunity to join exclusive online sessions with international industry experts.

The projects were evaluated by a team of leading Ukrainian experts, Netflix did not have access to and did not participate in any evaluation of the materials submitted for participation in the program, and does not assume any obligations regarding the projects participating in the program. That is, it should not be assumed that all these scenarios will be translated into real films and series, but if at least a few of them make it to the streaming service, it will be a victory.

The list of selected projects is below. As you can see from the titles, among them there are films and series dedicated to Ukrainian history, modernity and the Russian-Ukrainian war.
