32 May Festival

Фестиваль «32 мая»

Schaste, Ukraine

Jun 5 - 6, 2026Expected

Each year, the Eastern Ukrainian towns of Severodonetsk and Schastye host a youth film festival with a curious name, the 32nd of May, a date that never comes. Through social films, open-air screenings, and frank discussion, young people explore hidden truths and civic values, in a festival born to give them a voice.

Media proof note

The 32 May Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
