“Recreating 'Bobe Mayses' is not just a restoration of the film, but a return to our cultural roots,” emphasized Gennady Kofman.
Return of Ukraine's animation heritage
The film “Bobe Mayses” was shot on analog film and was on the verge of destruction for a long time. Only three decades later, this unique animation will again appear before the audience, and for the first time in the Ukrainian-language version. This project was made possible thanks to the support of the Dovzhenko Center and the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, which made it possible to restore and adapt the film in Ukrainian.

The power of folklore and artistic animation
“Bobe Mayses” is a unique work of Ukrainian animation, which received an award for the best animated film in Ukraine in 1993. The recreated version, re-voiced by A. Rogovtseva, promises to immerse viewers in the wonderful world of Jewish folklore, while simultaneously revealing the beauty of Ukrainian cultural identity.
Entry to the screening is only possible by pre-registration, and afterward the audience will meet with the creative figures who helped revive the film for new generations.
