CHARITY SCREENING
KINOWAR is not just about unique films that the average viewer won't see, it's not just about fundraising - it's about a community highlighting the debate about the aggressive invasion in Ukraine and russia's equally aggressive information and political interventions across Europe. It's a communication platform, it's a call to action to defend freedom of speech, democracy.
DISTRIBUCE
We are a non-standard cinema distribution. We have some insight into Ukrainian cinema production and an understanding of the moods of the Ukrainian minority. At the same time, we are building our audience, we have active social networks and we support most screenings with advertising through our networks and communication with local Ukrainian associations. During premiere or charity screenings, we create cultural accompaniment to the event such as debates with guests, authors, etc.
