Short description of the organisation:

CineMova e.V. emerged from an initiative founded in 2009 and is a non-commercial and independent network of people with Ukrainian migration history in Berlin. We are committed to making Ukrainian culture, history and the present visible in Germany by showing films about Ukraine. The film screenings address important social and political issues. In the program we show both Ukrainian films and films by non-Ukrainian directors. We also organize seminars on political participation in Germany for people with a refugee and migration history. These seminars are aimed both at people who have been living in Berlin for a long time and at people who have recently come to Berlin from Ukraine. We also carry out other social and human rights projects to support refugees and new and old Berliners.
