Ukrainian movie in Milton Keynes: Guardians of Christmas

Sky Room Cinema is showing the Ukrainian Christmas comedy Guardians of Christmas on Saturday 5 December, a charity screening that's open to families and audiences of all ages. The film is directed by Oleksandr Kirienko and runs for 1 hour 38 minutes, shown in Ukrainian with English subtitles.

It's a Christmas story about Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus and the ancient Spirit of Winter, who team up to bring back Christmas and a belief in miracles. The film was produced by Tetiana Shulika, who also came up with the original idea.

The screening is part of the International Children's Film Marathon 'Culture vs War', staged for World Children's Day by the 'Watch Ukrainian!' Association and KRYLA Culture CIC. It's supported by the 'MHP-Hromadi' Charitable Foundation, with assistance from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Culture of Ukraine. Here in Milton Keynes, the local organiser is the Ukraine Appeal charity.

It's at Sky Room Cinema inside MK Gallery, 900 Midsummer Boulevard, MK9 3QA. The screening runs from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, with doors opening at 3:30 pm. Entry is by charity donation: £10 for adults and £3 for children under 16.
