Ukraïner Production films the stories of people who are building their country while preserving their identity and cultural heritage for posterity despite the war.
Since its founding in 2016, Ukraïner has become known for its expeditions that have explored different parts of Ukraine, discovering its cultural and geographical diversity. Our films, created prior to 2022, highlighted the beauty of nature, unique traditions and stories of the extraordinary people who make Ukraine. We sought to show the real country, revealing its potential and identity for both Ukrainians and the world.
With the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, the focus of our films shifted. We were among the first to travel to the de-occupied territories to document war crimes, the destruction of towns and villages, and the courageous resistance of Ukrainians. Films have become not only a means of recording historical events, but also a tool to support people affected by the occupation and spread the truth about the war. We continue to talk about Ukrainian identity, but now in the context of the struggle for survival and preservation of our culture.

Brave Cities is a continuation of the multimedia project that our team created in the summer of 2022 to support those whose homes are under Russian occupation. The documentary and music film combines concert performances with musicians' reflections on the Ukrainian identity of the cities they sing about and their resistance to the occupiers.
Ukraїner films are created thanks to the joint work of dozens of volunteers: cameramen, editors, sound engineers and other specialists. These caring people give their time and skills to show Ukraine in a different and interesting way. This process is managed by the core Ukraїner team, which coordinates volunteers and helps to implement the plan.
It is thanks to this union of professionals and volunteers that Ukraïner creates sincere and meaningful films. This cooperation, based on love for Ukraine, creates high-quality content that resonates with many viewers. Everyone who joins in is an important part of this creative work.
