From moving stories about the lives and dreams of teenagers from Ukraine and Afghanistan to films that explore and reflect on history, memory, resilience, and each person’s ability to influence change.

Over six days in Khmelnytskyi, which this November becomes another stop of the Travelling Festival, we will screen all ten films from this year’s programme — both in person and online, and we will also hold discussions on various human rights topics relevant to Ukrainian society.

We have prepared a selection of open events for you.
