Ukrainian producers have created an association to shoot documentary projects about the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. This was announced on Facebook by the former Minister of Culture and Information Policy Vladimir Borodyansky..
“On March 18, 2022, Ukrainian film and television producers Vladimir Borodyansky, Viktor Mirsky, Daria Legoni-Fialko, Alla Lipovetskaya, Irina Zarya, Marina Kvasova, Igor Storchak created a production association. Its goal is to produce documentaries and educational films and series that should tell the world about the war between Russia and Ukraine, its origins, causes and potential consequences.. Already today, the process of collecting applications, selecting projects, production and creative teams, as well as raising funds for financing has been launched..
To launch the initiative, each of the founders made a personal cash contribution of UAH 1 million, which cannot be withdrawn back. The goal of the production association is to release the first projects in a few months. For this, a call for applications from directors and producers has already been announced.. They promise to choose a funded project by a simple majority of votes.
“The association is also actively working to attract Ukrainian and foreign investors and donors, using its own network of contacts of the founders. The association does not aim to make a profit until the complete liberation of Ukraine from the troops of the Russian aggressor and the final victory. All the money received from the founders of the association, as well as foundations, patrons, philanthropists, as well as the distribution of projects produced will be reinvested in new launches,” Borodyansky added..
He noted that the initiative of the producers is private, aiming at the synergy of all founders in difficult times for Ukraine and the media market.. Producer companies also continue their independent work.
“Our goal is to come together and use the best opportunities of each of us to achieve the maximum effect and to attract as many workers in the media industry as possible, creating new jobs in these turbulent times,” say the founding producers.
