“Several films made by Russia are regularly admitted to the programs of most world film festivals, and significant resources are spent on their promotion,” the petition reads. “The result of this activity is not only the spread of propaganda messages and distorted facts. It also boosts the loyalty of Russian culture — the culture of the aggressor state, which unleashed unjustified and unprovoked war in central Europe.
“We urge you to terminate all contracts with them,” the petition reads. “Remember that the business that will use your films pays taxes to the Russian budget, which finances the army that violated the borders of an independent state and buys missiles to bomb the civilian population of Europe.” The call follows an impassioned plea by some of Ukraine’s most prominent filmmakers for the international industry to stand in solidarity with their country during this crisis.
“Every minute of delay in making influential decisions takes away the lives of Ukrainians now and every life outside Ukraine in the future,” noted Maryna Er Gorbach, director of Sundance winner. “The world security is in the hands of the Ukrainian army. Be brave and determined, support the demands of Ukrainian politicians. Do it for the future of your own children!”
