"The Festival is not only about films; it’s about the power of art and culture that transcends geographical borders and language barriers. It is about art that unites us around the key European values: freedom, democracy, human rights, equality and human dignity. The same values for which Ukrainians are fighting, every day, against the Russian aggressor," 

said the EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová.
