  In this short review a broad range of chiral phenomena observed in magnetic
films (spin cycloid and skyrmion structures formation as well as chirality
dependent domain wall motion) is considered under the perspective of spin
flexoelectricity, i.e. the relation between bending of magnetization pattern
and electric polarization. The similarity and the difference between the spin
flexoelectricity and the newly emerged notion of spin flexomagnetism is
discussed. The phenomenological arguments based on the geometrical idea of
curvature-induced effects are supported by analysis of the microscopic
mechanisms of spin flexoelectricity based on three-site ion indirect exchange
and twisted RKKY interaction models. The electric-field-induced creation of the
single skyrmion is predicted.
