Victoria Leshchenko

sales agent, festival representative, curator

Victoria has a master degree in cultural studies (Kyiv-Mohyla Academy). She been working as a programmer for more than 10 years, including 4 last years as a program director at Docudays UA - which were quite hectic due to covid-19 and demanded both responsible and creative approaches to still keep running the festival. For example, in March 2020, Victoria developed new formats for film screenings and festival events in very tight deadlines, and together with her team moved the Docudays UA online in just a month.

She has experience in programming film programs at Ukrainian film festivals (Molodist IFF, Docudays UA IHRDFF) and film organizations (docuspace platform), as well as a wide professional network and connections to other Ukrainian cultural actors, material and rights holders – together with her team she was collaborating with many of them such as the Dovzhenko Center on the number of common film programs.

In 2022, together with her fellow programmer from Docudays UA and film critic Yulia Kovalenko she established "sloїk film atelier". Its first and recent film curator project is a collaborative work with Deutsche Kinemathek - a program of Ukrainian film screenings in Germany named "Perspectives of Ukrainian Cinema".
