I believe this collection contains many Ukrainian films and suggest 
exploring this offer.

Pittfilm Travel to Collections Grant (University of Pittsburgh)

The University of Pittsburgh's Slavic and East European video and DVD
collection is the leading collection outside of the Russian Federation,
with a holding of more than 6,000 items, including extensive holdings in
Russian, Slovak, and Central Asian cinema.  Online information about the
Pitt collection, which is non-circulating, is available at
http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/video/index.html.

Supported by Pitt's Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences, the Russian
and East European Studies Center (REES), the Slavic Department, and the
Film Studies Program, the 2007-2008 Pittfilm Travel to Collections Grant
solicits applications from scholars with developed research projects
that would benefit from on-site access to this collection. The selection
committee would look favorably on those applications that include a
research presentation as a public lecture.

Travel awards are $ 1,200 each, intended to defray costs of domestic
airfare, two nights' lodging, and a modest per diem for three days.  Two
scholars will be chosen in the 2007-2008 competition, one for each
semester of next academic year.

  DEADLINE: 1 April 2007.

Recipients will be notified by 15 May 2007 and funds must be spent by 30
April 2008.

Interested scholars should send an electronic copy of a one-page,
single-spaced project description (including preferred dates and a list
of anticipated research materials in the Pitt collection) to Prof.
Vladimir Padunov at padunov@pitt.edu with the Subject Heading "Pittfilm
Travel-to-Collections Grant."
