Screen Directors Guild of Ireland

We are a group of Irish writers, directors and producers who have watched the events in Ukraine unfold with horror; a horror intensified through personal stories of colleagues and friends directly affected by this conflict, some of whom have decided to stay and document, some who need to flee for their own safety.
