Support vs Censorship in a time of war.
When a war for democratic and free-thinking is literally being fought as I write this, we’re in a moment where the boycotting of Russian films, filmmakers and festivals is something some argue is the least that can be done to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

While we may feel powerless to stop the conflict in Ukraine, it is within our power to offer aid to those who have had their homes and livelihoods taken away from them.

At Festival Formula we strongly believe it is through the art of storytelling we can understand people and bring empathy to those who need it most. Check out festivals who curate programmes in support of Ukrainian filmmakers and cinema.

The festive time calls for traditions… And here at FF HQ we have our own.
