In the cinema he debuted as a student in the course directorial work of Leonid Osyka "Two".
Mykolaychuk's general recognition brought the role of the young Taras Shevchenko in the movie "Dream" and Ivan Paliychuk in "Shadows of forgotten ancestors". Ivan was shot at both films simultaneously, as well as studying on the 2nd course. "The Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" won 39 international awards in 21 countries, 28 prizes at film festivals, 24 of them Grand Prix and entered the Guinness Book of Records.
In early 1970s began persecution of Ukrainian culture figures. Mykolaychuk met with accusations of nationalism. For the first time, this happened in 1968, during the filming of the film "Annichka". In response Mykolaychuk flared up, trying to explain a difference between "nationalism" and "patriotism". The incident ended in denunciations to Kyiv, where Mykolaychuk was qualified as a "person of hostile ideology". Even more complicated situation developed after the film "White Bird with a Black Sign". Film that won the Golden Prize of the Moscow International Film Festival was taken almost as a hostile nationalist force. Ivan Mikolaychuk repeatedly had to explain his position in various instances.
"The shadows of forgotten ancestors" for a long time was actually banned from showing. The 1972 film "Missing Letter" appeared on the screens only in the late 1980s. Ivan Mikolaychuk gradually was almost excommunicated from the creative process. Over the course of 5 years, according to soviet communist party leaders instructions, his name was removed from most of film groups, although many directors wanted to see actor in their films.
Only in 1979, thanks to the secretary of the ideological work of the Kharkiv regional committee of the communist party of Ukraine Volodymyr Ivashko, he was able to obtain permission to shoot film "Babylon XX" based on Vasil Zemlyak's novel "Swan Flock", in which Mykolaychuk acted as a screenwriter, director, actor and even the composer. In 1980, the picture won the prize "For the best directing" at the All-Union Film Festival in Dushanbe Tajikistan.
The next 1981 film"Such a Late, Such a Warm Autumn" directed by Mykolaychuk, had many scenes re shot for ideological reasons and had no such success as "Babylon XX".
In 1983 Mykolaychuk created the script for the film "Nebilitsy about Ivan", in 1984 he was preparing to work on the film under his scenario, but the production was allowed only in the fall of 1986. However, due to severe illness Ivan Mikolaychuk could not start shooting. Film was shot in 1989 after the death of Mykolaychuk by Boris Ivchenko.
