SPI would like to share information with members on the initiative below from industry colleagues and urge you to support our global AV community via the links below.
We are a group of Irish writers, directors and producers who have watched these past week’s events unfold with horror. We believe it is our moral imperative to support our fellow film-makers, who are doing the essential job of witnessing history on all of our behalf. And we know they need help fast. We are calling on the Irish Film & TV Industry to help us support the filmmaking community directly affected by the war in Ukraine. We are looking to support those staying to document the war as well as helping those fleeing the conflict.
We have set up a short-term fund-raising appeal to run until March 31st via gofundme here.
We currently have one confirmed event to be run by Órla Murphy on March 20th at the Dublin Flea in the Digital Hub.
It will be possible to make donations through this link here which will be gathered together and transferred to two funds supporting filmmakers affected by the war, the “Emergency Fund for Filmmakers" and “Docuhelp”.
Thanks and we hope this inspires you,
Brian Deane, Órla Murphy, Róisín Kearney, Brendan Culleton, Irina Maldea.
