On December 17 at 3:00 pm at the American House Lviv we will watch Ukrainian queer films.
If the air alert will burst everything will stop and play again later (if the alarm is less than 40 minutes), during this time it will be possible to go down to the bomb shelter and stay there with us. See you!
