The Guildhall Cinema is pleased to join together with the Sherbourne Cinema Gloucester to promote the charity screening of the film Olga (12A) with all profits going towards charities supporting Ukraine.

Guildhall Cinema’s Film Programmer Simon Nicholls says, “supporting something as meaningful as this screening is important to all of us who work within the Arts Sector and rather than do our own event it just made more sense to pull together and support Mark at the Sherbourne to get as many people in the audience as possible.”

There will be two screenings of the film at Sherbourne Cinema. One on Sunday 20th March at 8pm and the second on Wednesday 23 March at 2.30pm. The film runs for 85mins.

Set in 2013, Olga tells the story of a 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast, training for the European Championship in preparation for the Olympics, who is forced to move to Switzerland from her home in Kyiv where her mother works as an investigative journalist reporting on the Euromaidan protests. Lead actress Anastasiia Budiashkina is a former member of Ukraine’s national gymnastics team. Olga's lead actress, Anastasia Budiashkina, arrived in Poland on Monday after leaving Kharkiv in Ukraine to escape the war. She says:

"I am very glad that Olga will be seen in the UK, and people will see the situation going on with Ukraine. Everyone involved with Olga worked very hard, and I put a part of myself into the film. I hope everyone will enjoy Olga."
