VENOM FILMS KACHALKA Directed by @garorourke Produced by @kenwardrop Premiered online with @shortoftheweek and a @vimeo Staff Pick. You can check out our full film over on the Short of the Week channel - link in our bio. KACHALKA is a journey into the heart of what is widely considered the world's most hardcore gym - Kiev's enormous open-air "Kachalka" gym. With the current horrific situation, we stand with Ukraine. Director @garorourke would like to pass on the following words: 'Kachalka was made in Kyiv back a couple of summers ago through the support of Screen Ireland, in a moment in time which seems a far cry away from the tragedy which is currently taking place. Although this film shows a very different reality to what we are currently seeing in Kyiv and around the rest of Ukraine, we're sharing the online release of this film today to help shine a small light on the Ukrainian spirit and what makes it truly unique. We have included a link to donate to the Ukranian Red Cross who is working tirelessly on the ground during this crisis. To learn more about the film and watch it online see the link to Short of the Week.' We will be supporting efforts to bring medical and humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine - Please find the link to the Ukranian Red Cross in our bio. . #standwithukraine🇺🇦
