    Thank you Three Acts Of Goodness Micro Film Festival for organizing the event and the rich program, and for having me this year. I was delighted by the people I met, the communication, and your hospitality. Warm memories of the ceremony in China, thank you for the opportunity to see such powerful stories and share mine.

    L'organizzazione e la comunicazione sono state formidabili! Purtroppo, a malincuore, non sono riuscito a partecipare in persona alla cerimonia di premiazione. Evviva i tre atti di bontà! Grazie, grazie, grazie!
