Stunt & Action Industry Directory
An independent, unranked guide to Ukraine's stunt and screen-action world — the state film agency (Derzhkino) and the National Union of Cinematographers that frame the industry, the каскадери teams who staged the action in films like Cyborgs and Zakhar Berkut, and the film and circus schools that train performers. Ukraine built a serious action-cinema capability in the 2010s; the full-scale war since 2022 has disrupted but not erased it. No sponsorships, no rankings.

State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema (Derzhkino)
Державне агентство України з питань кіно
National Film Agency · Kyiv
The central executive body for state cinema policy — film-production financing, distribution, registration of films and promotion of Ukrainian cinema at home and abroad. Re-established in 2005, it is the top-level government body relevant to all film labour, including stunt and action work, and continues to operate during wartime.

Національна спілка кінематографістів України
Filmmakers' Union · Kyiv
Founded 1958, the oldest and largest filmmakers' union in Ukraine — well over a thousand members across directing, cinematography, acting and crafts — and operator of Kyiv's Budynok Kino (House of Cinema). The closest thing to a sector-wide professional membership body for Ukrainian film workers; there is no dedicated stunt chapter, so stunt workers are represented informally rather than through a named guild.

Stuntalot Crew
Студія каскадерів Stuntalot
Stunt & Action Design · Kyiv
An action-design and stunt-coordination studio co-founded by coordinators Dmytro Rudyi and Pavlo Avilov. The crew staged action and fight sequences for landmark modern Ukrainian films — Border (2017), The Stronghold (2017), Cyborgs (2018) and Zakhar Berkut (2019) — making it one of the most credited Ukrainian stunt teams of the past decade.

9¾ School — Stunt Course
Школа аудіовізуальних та медіамистецтв 9¾
Stunt Course · Kyiv
A Kyiv acting and audiovisual-arts school whose four-month stunt course covers stage combat and screen-action fundamentals — strikes, reactions, falls, weapons, working with the camera and choreographing a fight scene. Taught by working stunt performer and world karate champion Anastasiya Shtefan of UA Stunts Team, with graduates offered a route into the team. The most concrete, verifiable stunt-training programme found in Ukraine.

Українська Кіношкола
Stunt Masterclasses · Kyiv
A Kyiv film school running intensive stunt and action masterclasses — falls, reactions, fight choreography and the staging of stunt scenes — with recent seminars taught by Canadian stunt performers from Shōgun, Snake Eyes, Skyscraper and DC television series. A periodic, internationally-connected training option for screen action rather than a standing full-time programme.

Київська муніципальна академія естрадного та циркового мистецтва
Circus & Performing Arts Academy · Kyiv
Ukraine's accredited municipal academy for circus and variety performers, with Circus, Musical and Theatrical Art faculties teaching acrobatics, equilibristics, gymnastics and pantomime. Not a stunt school as such, but circus and acrobatic training is a primary feeder of physical-performer talent into screen stunt work — the strongest institutional pathway for action-capable performers in Ukraine.
