The Russian invasion of Ukraine only intensifies and becomes more gruesome with each day. We pass our condolences to the friends and family of Maks Levin and Mantas Kvedaravičius in this time that is somehow beyond belief but also we know all too real. We extend our biggest and warmest love to those who feel like they are living in parallel realities these days. It is hard to promote business as usual and celebrations when we know that many in our community are experiencing violence, existential fear and threats near and far. The links to donate to colleagues remain at the bottom of this email.
Moreso, we are watching with a growing degree of alarm a situation unfolding in Georgia, also directly effecting our members right now, regarding the dismissal of film centre director Gaga Chkeidze. You can read a short statement from our friends at Business Doc Europe here, but there is more to come later this week.
We are also pleased to have awarded two projects at our member events Agora Docs in Thessaloniki and East Doc Platform, we welcome these filmmakers and producers to our community. Our faith in being together in this network has never been as unequivocal as it is in these days.
Take care all and check out your exclusive members-only offers below.
