All proceeds from this movie screening will help support Ukrainian filmmakers
It’s an excellent excuse to catch a movie on Thursday.
Cork International Film Festival (CIFF) is hosting a special charity screening of the Cannes award-winning film Donbass by acclaimed Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa on Thursday, April 7th, 2022.
All proceeds from the screening, which begins at 6.30pm in The Gate Cinema, Cork, will go to support Ukrainian filmmakers.
The film, a black comedy set in a war-ravaged region of eastern Ukraine, will be introduced by CIFF Director of Programming, Anna Kopeckà.
“Cork International Film Festival stands with the Ukrainian people while the appalling and unprovoked war waged by Russia continues and, like many festivals and arts organisations, wishes to support our friends in this region.” the festival organisers said in a statement.

The DOCU/HELP filmmakers’ fund is assisting filmmakers who are bravely documenting the events in the war in Ukraine by providing them with the most necessary filming equipment, such as batteries, hard drives, memory cards, chargers, adapters, microphones, and replacements for damaged lenses.
It will also help cover essential support costs, including the costs of fuel, medicine and first aid kits, as well as basic needs in emergency situations.
Tickets for the charity screening of Donbass are available here from €9.
