Distribution of the European films in Ukraine.

forthcoming

LLC AT Films (TM Arthouse Traffic) distribution company from Ukraine. Arthouse Traffic is Ukraine’s independent film distribution company, operating since 2003. Our editorial line is broad and inclusive, embracing a wide range of genres and cinematic voices. While we do not limit ourselves to specific genres, we actively support and prioritize the release of films that highlight essential themes such as female-driven narratives, LGBTQ+ perspectives, mental health, фтв human rights. This commitment is reflected in our annual catalogue of approximately 50 theatrical releases, ranging from auteur-driven European cinema to family and children’s films, independent animation, and festival favorites.Our back catalogue currently holds over 1000 titles, a diverse selection that continues to shape the Ukrainian arthouse cinema landscape. We are widely recognized for introducing audiences to critically acclaimed European films and directors, many of which had never before been shown in Ukraine. Our theatrical releases span across the country — from major cinema chains like Multiplex and Planeta Kino to independent and regional theaters in smaller towns. Depending on the film's scale, we typically release it on anywhere from 10 to 250 screens. Our windowing strategy prioritizes theatrical releases, followed by VOD, TVOD, and SVOD platforms. We often premiere films within our own festival events (e.g. Kyiv Critics' Week, Children's Kinofest, and the Weeks of National Cinema), or in collaboration with local festivals and cultural organizations. After the theatrical and digital window, we engage further with educational and community-based audiences through a nationwide Kinoclub network under sublicensing terms. Distribution support would help us to continiue aqcruiing Euopean films and providing them with proper promotion.
