    Very well organized festival, I highly recommend it. I applied to about 50 festivals and was so surprised at how poorly most of them are run. Most festivals as soon as they get what they want from you it's: poor communication, poor attendance, lack of interest. That was not the case with BIAF. All around a great festival and would/will certainly apply again to them.

    It was an incredible honor to be part of this event in 2021. Besides its greatness, all communication was perfect by the festival's team and we deeply thank for the official selection. Hope to be with you in person in the following years!
