    very unserious. They selected my short to participate, they made me upload it to their page, it was never published. When I made the claim citing the email they sent me, they responded that it was a mistake and it was not selected. A total lack of respect.

  • Nice festival, unfortunately due to the virtual nature is hard to network. Good selection of films, with very good streaming quality.
