    It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to attend the 2026 edition and to have my project selected. The film selection was excellent, and the venue was fantastic, a truly unique and cozy cinema room. A film festival unlike any other, and that's exactly its greatest strength. Thank you again!

    Wow, what a nice review! Thanks so much, we thoroughly enjoyed your film and it was lovely to meet you guys, Michael. A fantastically made film that managed to bring warmth and loads of laughs to a pretty dark subject matter. The audience loved it! All the best for your future.
