We are filmmakers from all around the world brought together by a shared experience and education called Docnomads, a joint masters degree program in Europe focused on Documentary Filmmaking. On February 24, 2022, Putin's Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians shifted their lives to bombing shelters, lost their homes and became refugees. Hundreds of thousands of
civilians had no other choice but to join the army to defend the freedom of their country. We organize public events and screenings to gather funds for the people caught in the Ukraine invasion. It is a cycle of screenings of contemporary Ukrainian cinema that give a glimpse of Ukrainian society during past years. The feature-length films are presented along with one DocNomads short documentary that thematically echoes the current world we are living in. As filmmakers, we are brought together by a strong sense of empathy which we translate through our creations. With this, we feel that now is a time to act and do something concretely to help the victims of the unfolding war by using the strength of our community and the love of our own craft. The idea is to do what we can wherever we are. 100 per cent of the funds raised will be donated to the people directly affected by the war in Ukraine. We believe that our efforts will contribute to saving more lives, spreading important information, and improving the conditions of those who are suffering from this horrible war. We stand with Ukraine!
