Career

[edit | edit source]

Libet has worked as a producer on fiction and documentary projects, with a focus on international co-productions.[11][10]

In 2017 she joined the Ukrainian production companies Digital Religion and ESSE Production House.[11][3]

In 2022 Libet co-founded the production company 2Brave Productions with producer Olha Bregman.[10] The company works on Ukrainian and international films, including the documentary 'Rule of Two Walls' (2023), directed by David Gutnik[12], and 'After the Rain: Putin's Stolen Children Come Home' (2025), directed by Sarah McCarthy.[13]

Coverage in Ukrainian media has highlighted her role in supporting emerging Ukrainian filmmakers and contributing to the visibility of Ukrainian cinema during the Russia–Ukraine war.[14][10]

In an interview with the public broadcaster Suspilne[14] Libet commented on the rising global attention to Ukrainian cinema:

"Є зацікавленість глядача в тому, що ми переживаємо як країна і як люди у стані війни, що може нас та Європу чекати надалі."

She noted that international audiences have shown increased interest in what the Ukrainian people are going through during wartime and what the future holds for Ukraine and Europe.[14]

Libet has maintained an ongoing creative partnership with director Kateryna Gornostai[15] whose work has been identified by Variety as part of a new generation of Ukrainian filmmakers gaining international visibility.[16] Their collaborations include 'Stop-Zemlia' and the documentary Timestamp (2025).[17][18][19]

Natalia Libet also produced 'Forever-Forever' (2023), directed by Anna Buryachkova, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival[6] and 'Cuba and Alaska', directed by Yegor Troyanovsky, which premiered at Sheffield DocFest[20] and won Best Documentary at the 2025 Rome Film Festival.[21]

She is a member of the European and Ukrainian Film Academies[22][8] and serves as the head of First Cut+.[23]
