Global Cooperation stand (FILM.UA Group, Starlight Media, 1+1 Media, and Suspilne Ukraine), will represent the country's most relevant content and services.
The event will host a panel discussion dedicated to Ukraine Content Club on June 27 at 3:30 pm, with a special focus on its documentary slate. During the session, the UCC delegates, along with the representatives of the initiative's international judging panel, will announce the first three documentary projects selected to be developed under the UCC umbrella.
