Opening of the charity screening of "Culture VS War" documentaries 

Today, La Planque hosted the official opening of screening of series of documentaries about russian crimes shown through the prism of Ukrainian artists. These incredibly moving and heart-wrenching films are about war through the eyes of those who create by soul. It is about the war through the eyes of famous Ukrainian artists and cultural figures who stood up to defend our country, our freedom and independence from the first day of the full-scale russian military aggression against Ukraine. By joining the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and volunteer movements, they bring us closer to victory. And this is a great feat. 

Our immense gratitude to Ukrainian defenders, to our heroes for their brave everyday struggle against the enemy.

"Today, cultural diplomacy has become our tool, our shield, and sword in the fight against those who are trying to destroy the Ukrainian identity, sovereignty, history, and culture. We believe that light will definitely overcome darkness. It is very important to show to the foreign audience the documentaries about real life and suffering of Ukrainians. Such screening gives an opportunity to understand our pain more deeply”. - Chargé d'Affaires Nataliia Anoshyna.

The Embassy of Ukraine is very grateful to the Association of Ukraine Cinema Development & Support - Watch Ukrainian!, the MHP-Hromada Foundation, the Babylon Company, La Planque and all those who participated in initiating, creating, and supporting this project. 

Don't miss the opportunity to join the next screenings, which will take place on 28 and 30 September at La Planque, and see with your own eyes what we call "Culture VS War" today.
