In a statement, Sinkevych said she was “deeply moved and honored” to be named Series Mania’s jury president, adding “at these times we know that culture is a powerful tool to stop the aggression and to bring to the world new talent. My country is part of that world cinema and now is fighting against all odds to demonstrate that it is the right of each human being to bring beauty, art, peace, and novelty to this world.
Series Mania is the latest film and TV institution to publicly support the people of Ukraine in the wake of the Russian invasion of the country last week. Television markets Mip TV and NATPE have effectively banned Russian companies from its events following the invasion and the European Film Academy has said it will support calls from Ukrainian filmmakers to boycott Russian cinema while the war continues.
