The Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Centre (commonly known as Dovzhenko Centre) is the largest film archive in Ukraine, housing over 7,000 titles of feature, documentary, and animated films, both Ukrainian and international, as well as thousands of archival documents on the history of Ukrainian cinema.

Established in 1994, the Dovzhenko Centre was founded on the basis of the largest Ukrainian film duplication factory of the Soviet era, which originated in 1938. Our institution encompasses a film archive, Ukraine’s only film duplication laboratory, a Cinema Museum, a paper film archive, a media library, and its own publishing house. The primary mission of the Dovzhenko Centre is to preserve, promote, research, and distribute national film heritage both in Ukraine and abroad.

Dovzhenko Centre. Online is the long-awaited online cinema based on the Dovzhenko Centre’s collection. This dynamic and ever-expanding platform will provide access to both universally recognized Ukrainian classics and lesser-known gems of Ukrainian cinema. In addition to feature, documentary, and animated films, Dovzhenko Centre. Online will feature lecture programs and archival interviews to help audiences understand the context and complexities of the Ukrainian filmmaking process.

Dovzhenko Centre. Online was created in partnership with the cultural institution “Mizhvukhami.”

This project would not have been possible without a crowdfunding campaign organized by film researcher Richard Bosson.
