Ukraine film production descended from the Soviet film industry
Before perestroika, the industry followed the centralized command-administrative
model, with the State Committee for Cinematography, Goskino, controlling
all aspects of production. Each major studio was organized in a
strict hierarchy and had to answer to Goskino. No film could be
produced without Goskino's approval. Goskino also dealt with financial
issues, material resources,and technical and creative crews. It
handled questions about hiring policies, international contacts,
payment for creative work, and so forth.
Films have been made under the auspices of these ideological principles,
such as "the romanticism of revolutionary feats ideals of communism",
"Soviet patriotism", "socialist humanism" etc.
The Soviet film industry today had restructured completely, from
conception through production and distribution.
One of the largest and well-known science and film studio in Europe
is National Cinematheque of Ukraine (NCU), founded under the name
of `Kyivnaukfilm`. Since its foundation in 1941, it has produced
more then 500 films, which were highly rewarded in Ukrainian and
