    Many thanks for the organisation and the family atmosphere at the festival. It was a great experience, thanks to everyone who was there, to the main organiser Goran and the jury. We had a great time exchanging ideas and watching the films together in the amphitheatre. Thank you for letting me be part of the unique AsterFest film festival.

    ASTERFEST treats films and filmmakers with great appreciation and a warm welcome. Our film THATCH TO THE FUTURE was embraced by an attentive audience in a wonderful screening. The generous hospitality surrounding the festival is fun and was a great experience. Thank you for having us!

    This was a lovely experience. Though I was not able to attend in person, Goran and his team were extremely helpful, supportive, and enthusiastic. Their communication was flawless, and they did a terrific job helping me to bring my film, Out of the Hands of the Wicked, to Macedonian audiences. I would not hesitate to recommend this festival to any filmmaker, and I look forward to participating again with my next film. Thank you AsterFest for your terrific work and dedication to independent cinema!
