This is posted on the Facebook page of the event, seen by Ukrinform.
The action starts on Tuesday at 14:00 at the Scotiabank Theatre, 259 Richmond St West, Toronto.
The organizers of the event stress that protest is a peaceful way to express disagreement and condemnation of Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) decision.
“Please carry with you Ukrainian symbols, placards with the main theses,” the post reads.
“Let’s gather at TIFF with signs and flags to show the real side of Russians at War,” the organizers urged.
It is known that Ukraine expressed disappointment by the TIFF decision to show the Russian propaganda film in the program this year. The Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada, Yulia Kovaliv posted this on X.
Previously, the film Russians at War was shown at the Venice Film Festival, which caused outrage in the Ukrainian community.
乌克兰新闻报援引脸书消息报道，9月10日，加拿大多伦多将举行抗议活动，抗议放映由RT前员工阿纳斯塔西娅·特罗菲莫娃执导的俄罗斯电影《战争中的俄罗斯人》。放演将于周二 14:00 在多伦多 Richmond St West 259 号丰业银行剧院开始。 活动组织者强调，抗议是表达对多伦多国际电影节决定反对和谴责的和平方式。 帖子中写道：“请随身携带乌克兰标记、带有主要诉求的标语牌。” 组织者敦促说：“让我们举着标语和旗帜聚集在多伦多国际电影节，以展示俄罗斯人在战争中的真实一面。” 据了解，乌克兰对多伦多国际电影节今年决定在节目中放映俄罗斯宣传片表示失望。乌克兰驻加拿大大使尤利娅·科瓦利夫在 X 上发布了此消息。 此前，电影《战争中的俄罗斯人》在威尼斯电影节上放映，引起了乌克兰社会的愤怒。
