context_page_description: The Odesa International Film Festival is an annual film festival held in the middle of the July in Odesa, Ukraine. It was held for the first time 16 – 24 July 2010.
  Since 2016 festival program consists of three parts: International competition, National competition and European Documentary competition. National competition is divided into Features and Shorts.
  The festival is young. However, the organizers set before themselves a rather ambitious goal: to develop it into one of the leading film forums in Eastern Europe – The Cannes of Eastern Europe.
  The President of the festival is Viktoriya Tigipko.
context_section_description: The non-competitive program follows a structure familiar to many film events – a "Festival of Festivals". The films screened include the latest hits of world festivals, retrospectives and exclusive premieres ("Gala Premieres". section) of the more noteworthy works of film art shown in the category of "Special Screenings". This portion of the program also includes screenings of works of national cinematography ("The French Panorama", "New Russian Cinema", "Odesa Focus", "Ukrainian Retrospective")
  Perhaps the most noted of all festival events are its open-air screenings on the Petemkin Steps which transforms into a screening venue for one festival evening. During the first OIFF, crowds of viewers marveled at Sergei Eisenstein's masterpiece "Battleship Potemkin" with the accompaniment of a live symphonic orchestra. This grand affair set the tone for later festival open-air events. In 2011, the Potemkin Steps, again will a full symphonic orchestra, welcomed Fritz Lang's 1927 masterpiece "Metropolis" for which over two thousand viewers assembled on the stair.
  The second OIFF gave the audiences another open-air venue – The Langeronovskiy Descent, where nightly films were screened for audiences underneath the night sky. Since 2017 instead of Langeronovskiy Descent screenings took place at Odesa Green Theatre in Shevchenko Park.
