The fourth festival traditionally took place in the Kyiv Cinema House and lasted from March 29 to April 6, 2007.

Every year, the Organizing Committee chooses a theme for the festival that most accurately reflects the Ukrainian realis.

The symbol of the festival, which took place immediately after Euromaidan, was a burning heart in the form of a Molotov cocktail.
