Cineast4Ukraine Charity Project

We launched the CinEast4Ukraine charity project immediately after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022. During our 15th edition we managed to collect EUR 16 500 - and this was used to purchase an equipped ambulance and a number of warm sleeping bags. Both were sent to Ukraine as part of the convoy organised by our partner LUkraine asbl at the end of December 2022. Huge thanks to all the donors for their generosity and solidarity!

The 16th edition of CinEast Film Festival is committed to continue supporting Ukraine and helping victims of the war. Our contribution last year - although very meaningful - remains just a drop in the sea of needs that continues to erode the shore, this is why our goal is to repeat the success and gather again a sufficient amount to purchase a second equipped ambulance and send it to Ukraine.

You can contribute in many ways, by:

  • Buying a festival pass (EUR 1 from each pass goes to the charity).
  • Joining our Opening / Closing concerts (EUR 5/3 from each ticket sold goes to the project).
  • Adding a donation while purchasing your cinema and event tickets on our Eventive platform.

Direct contributions can be made to our piggy banks in cinemas and music venues. Part of the income from the sale of Ukrainian food at the Opening Event (7/10 Melusina) and Closing Event (20/10 Rotondes), as well as from the screenings of selected feature and short films (including those online) will also go to the charity project.

On the last day of the festival - during the ‘Charity finale’ event - several photographs from the ‘Adaptations’ exhibition at Neimënster will be sold, and if you buy one you then have an opportunity to bring home one of the works and to support Ukraine.

Hands on hearts, we invite you to donate to the CinEast4Ukraine charity project and contribute to bringing help and hope to the Ukrainian people!
