GEECT stands in solidarity with the independent state of Ukraine and condemns the war by Russia that undermines the sovereignty and independence of the Ukraine. This military assault is a severe breach of international law and international agreements and comes at a cost of human lives and has produced incredible civil instability. As representatives of the European film schools, we wish to express our solidarity with the people of Ukraine and to film schools in its neighbouring countries: their pedagogues, staff and students during this politically turbulent time.
GEECT values film education as a place for freedom of expression and the right to pursue democratic values.
Let us express our wish for peace, for human respect and for a cease of all military aggression towards Ukraine. War can never be a solution.
GEECT Board – 26th of February 2022.
