A film screening and lunch to benefit cancer treatment research takes place in Monaco this June.

The film by Germaine McCormack-Kos, an Irish film producer and cancer survivor, is an uplifting tribute to the pioneering doctors who developed early cancer cures, whom Germaine met as she went on her own personal journey to recovery, thanks to them.

It brings a message of hope to those families affected by cancer and highlights the incredible work undertaken by the doctors, which resulted in new cures and turned the statistics around in favour of those surviving the disease.

Germaine’s interviews with the doctors also reveal the ongoing struggle for research funding and the necessary approvals by state bodies to advance treatments in progress.

The duration of the film is 55 minutes (in English with French subtitles), followed by a buffet lunch. After lunch a Q&A with medical specialists will take place for those who wish to get more information.

The event takes place on 17th June  at the Stelios Foundation Conference Hall on Port Hercules. Doors open at midday and the film starts at 12.15pm.

The screening is offered by Germaine McCormack-Kos. Lunch and the venue has been kindly sponsored by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation.

All proceeds from ticket sales go to the Foundation Princess Grace de Monaco – to benefit children’s cancer treatments. Tickets cost €55 and may be purchased online.
