Cine Europa 25 screens Ukraine’s film, “Klondike” at the Cultural Center of the Philippines
Cine Europa is back in Manila this week with special screenings of “Klondike” on 21 and 28 October at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Directed and written by Maryna Er Gorback from Ukraine, “Klondike” tells the story of a family struggle living on eastern Ukraine near the border with Russia at the start of the war in 2014. The film has received multiple international awards, including the Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2022.
Cine Europa 25 is organized by the EU Delegation to the Philippines, EU Member States’ Embassies, Cultúr Éireann, Irish Film Institute, Goethe-Institut, Instituto Cervantes de Manila, and the Philippine-Italian Association, in partnership with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, National Parks and Development Committee, the Film Development Council and other local and commercial partners. 30 films are showcased in Cine Europa in its Silver edition, both onsite and online.
“With the inclusion of a Ukrainian movie in Cine Europa, we want to express our solidarity with Ukraine and its people, whose lives are being shattered by Russia’s military aggression”, Chargé d’affaires a.i. Ana Sánchez Ruiz said.
Other films especially curated for families will also be shown at the CCP from 21 to 28 October 2022. The outdoor public screenings will be held at the CCP Front Lawn while an extended screening indoors will be conducted at the CCP Tanghalang Manuel Conde.
