In the year 2027, the Ministry of Culture included in the budget declaration for the year 2027 additional 4 billion hryvnias for the initiative to support the cultural product "Millennium-2027". Also starting next year, it is expected to introduce a number of important innovations — in particular, the use of artificial intelligence will be regulated, and debutants and experienced applicants will be divided into different groups. This was reported by Tatiana Berezhna, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for humanitarian policy and Minister of Culture, according to Interfax-Ukraine.
- Following the discussion of the "Millennium" there are many people who make decisions about funding for next year. Therefore, for us, as people who care about Ukrainian culture, we simply need to sit down and have a serious conversation together about what we can improve in the competition, she noted.
She also said that the Ministry of Culture submitted a budget declaration for next year, where it stated 4 billion hryvnias for the project "Millennium", as well as an additional need for 4 billion hryvnias. She also reiterated that next year the project plan is planned to be extended to books and online games.
Berezhna also stated that "Millennium-2027" will provide for regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI), raising the passing score for participation in the pitch, and also separating debutants and experienced applicants.
- This year, I believe, we conducted a pilot version of the program very successfully, and we will improve the aspects we can. We will work on regulating the use of artificial intelligence. This is very important, because many experts noted that their eyes twitched from monotonous presentations, and this actually distracted from revealing talent, she said.
Also next year it is planned to raise the passing score for admission of applicants to the final pitching. According to her, this year many not-very-strong projects reached the pitching because the passing score was 60 out of 100.
In addition, according to the vice prime minister, there are plans to improve the system of expert evaluation, as well as to introduce a new category "Books", about which work is still underway. Furthermore, starting next year it is planned to separate experienced participants and newcomers — "so that debutants compete with debutants, and experienced with experienced," Berezhna said.
Earlier, the Korotko correspondent briefly explained what they criticize about the "Millennium" and what they praise. It will also discuss some of the most interesting (in her view) cinema and television projects.
Based on the results of the selection for 2-26 year, funding was received by 545 cultural applications. The largest amount of money was taken by feature films and TV series — 1,9 billion hryvnias (92 projects from 290 presented).
