The third stage of the National Tour \u201cCinema for Victory!\u201d was launched on June 1, 2023. Within the framework of the tour, Ukrainian movies will be shown to defenders of Ukraine in military units and to tens of thousands of viewers in settlements without cinemas<\/p>\n
From June to October, a special mobile cinema truck will be on a tour through small towns and villages, screening Ukrainian movies.<\/p>\n
The project ambassadors will also join the tours: Ada Rohovtseva, Akhtem Seitablaiev, Irma Vitovska, Bohdan Beniuk, Oleksii Trytenko, and many other well-known artists. They will present the movies and talk to the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, the main goals of the movie tour were to unite and form a national identity. This year, we want to provide motivation and support as well. Because enduring a full-scale war is like running a marathon. Culture, meetings, and conversations with sincere people become the main source of strength for this. While working in communities, we see how emotionally difficult it is for people, so our mission is to support and give hope through films,\u201d says\u00a0<\/em>Tetiana Volochai, director of the MHP-Gromadi Charitable Foundation, which is supporting this project for the second year in a row.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The project \u201cCinema for Victory!\u201d was launched on August 6, 2022. The project is held in several formats: open-air screenings are held in towns and villages during the warm season; technical team visits to provide technical support for screenings; remote screenings in cooperation with local activists and at the request of military units, medical institutions, boarding schools, etc. In the framework of the film tour, the organizers arrange numerous meetings with filmmakers. Pre-premiere screenings of Ukrainian films with the participation of directors, actors, and film crew are organized exclusively for the military.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to the combination of different formats, since the beginning of the Tour, we have managed to hold 1,262 screenings of 47 Ukrainian feature films in 288 settlements and military units in 21 regions of Ukraine. This is not easy during martial law and under the threat of missile attacks. But we can see how important our Tour is for the audience, and this inspires us to continue and spread the \u2018Cinema for Victory!\u2019 Tour,<\/em>\u201d says Andrii Rizol, the ideologist of the initiative, the Tour\u2019s producer and Chairman of the Association \u201cWatch Ukrainian!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This year, the project was recognized at the national and international levels. In January, \u201cCinema for Victory!\u201d\u00a0won<\/a>\u00a0the \u201cResponsible Country\u201d social initiative, ranking in the \u201cSupporting Education and Culture\u201d category. In March, the project\u00a0received\u00a0<\/a>one of the world\u2019s most prestigious Communications Awards, the SABRE Awards. This award recognizes projects that demonstrate the highest level of strategic planning and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
