She is a co-author of literary scripts for popular science films, a member of the editorial board of scientific publications, and a scientific consultant to a range of projects and publications in the field of art management and cinematography. With the participation of H. Chmil, a series of laws and bylaws were prepared related to the introduction of the production system of film production, protection of intellectual property and copyright, regulation of the rules of public screening and distribution of films, development of the film industry and improvement of film services and introduction of protectionism for national films. During the period of her management, the Ukrainianisation of the information space was carried out, primarily through dubbing, sound and subtitling of foreign films screened on national cinema, television and screens. These initiatives have obviously contributed to the popularisation of the Ukrainian language and the introduction of a trend for being Ukrainian, both in the artistic sphere and in everyday life. Hanna Chmil combines her scientific, legislative and social activities with her lecturing practice. She actively participates in scientific conferences and symposia.
