What an incredible gesture!
CDFF presented the film Music of Survival: The Story of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus directed by Orest Sushko, which was followed by a musical performance and discussion about the crisis with Northeast Ohio Ukrainians at the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre.
“CDFF has a long relationship with our Northeast Ohio Ukrainian community and filmmakers. We wanted to do something to show our support during this crisis,” said CDFF Founder and Director Mary Ann Ponce. “We greatly appreciate that the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is joining with us for a powerful program of film and music to support Ukrainian freedom.”
Angie DeBernardo, President of the Chagrin Valley Little Theatre said that “in times of darkness, the arts have always provided people with both the comfort and the strength to overcome. Together with CDFF, we hope to support the Ukrainian people by raising funds, but more importantly to let them know we are standing with them during this struggle for freedom.”
Proceeds from all ticket and refreshment sales will benefit Ukrainian relief efforts through the CRS Ukrainian Relief fund.
