Show Me Shorts - Ukrainian Fundraiser

Show Me Shorts in collaboration with Kyiv International Short Film Festival (KISFF) presents a collection of short films from top Ukrainian filmmakers. These screenings are fundraising events for the people of Ukraine who are currently under attack.

All proceeds from ticket sales and additional donations will be transferred to KISFF (using Wise funds transfer) for distribution by them to humanitarian funds within Ukraine.

There are five Ukrainian short films that have been specially curated by KISFF for the fundraising screenings:
1. Unavailable directed by Nikon Romanchenko is a drama about a woman who works at a pastry shop while waiting to hear from her son who is in the war zone and out of communication.
2. Me and Mariupol directed by Piotr Armianovski is a documentary about a man who first saw the sea in Mariupol. He revisits the city twenty years later, and speaks of how enchanting he finds it.
3. Sensiz (Without You) directed by Nariman Aliev is a story of two brothers. On the road to a birthday party in a remote place their car breaks down and they decide to go the rest of the way on foot.
4. Bullmastiff directed by Anastasіia Bukovska is the story of a lonely war veteran who accidentally meets a lost dog who helps him rekindle a sense of joy.
5. Deep Love directed by Mykyta Lyskov is an animation set in the city of Dnipro. Partly a documentary, through the prism of absurdity and black humour, the film tells the story of a big city during historical changes and de-communisation.

This screening is an informal event celebrating Ukrainian creativity and raising much-needed funds for humanitarian aid.
