The Orthodox film festival "Pokrov" was founded with the blessing of His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir (Sabodan) of Kiev and All Ukraine in 2003. During this time, tens of thousands of people have seen hundreds of films, and in 2013 online broadcast was organized on the website of the festival, so that about 40 000 Internet users could watch Orthodox films.
