“Dovzhenko. First Sight” is dedicated to the world-famous Ukrainian director Oleksandr Dovzhenko, portraying Odesa in 1926 – a city reviving after war: NEP, jazz, boxing, literature, the sea. It's an era of romantics and young cinema, a true passion of Odessans. The film follows aspiring cartoonist and writer Sashko Dovzhenko as he takes his first steps into filmmaking and becomes a professional director – the first-
ever feature film about the legendary Dovzhenko, whose "Earth" ranks among cinema’s 12 greatest films.
