Over €50,000 was raised at an auction evening in Cannes to support Ukrainian cinema

The Ukrainian State Film Agency held a charity event and a ‘silent’ auction in Cannes to support the Ukrainian film industry which suffered losses due to the Russian war against Ukraine.

The headliner of the charity event was the Ukrainian group KAZKA, which took the stage together with the Swiss band Kadebostany. Among the lots were storyboards of the legendary film “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors” by Serhii Paradzhanov, a rare Ukrainian movie poster of the 70s, paintings by the outstanding artist Ivan Marchuk, and a book by the cult director David Lynch with his autograph.
