The European Solidarity Fund for Ukrainian Films is an initiative launched in February 2023 in Berlin. After having supported various actions for Ukraine at a national and European level, EFAD and its members wanted to unite forces to launch a dedicated support for Ukrainian filmmakers, to support the completion of films or the development of new projects, while fostering co-productions. ESFUF brings together 19 partners from 16 different countries, the EFAD association, some of its members (15 EFAD members), and Culture Ministries.
