    It was my worse experience for a film festival (in communication). The biggest problem was the huge lack of communication.
    I don't know why but there were anyone who was answering to our emails and questions. Or, when you receive an answer, it is 2 months later...
    You did also promises of things that you are not sure that you can do them.

    I can understand that it was impossible for you to support everyone's travel. But, don't make promises to participants in the future.

    And always, answer. It would have been more cool and respectuous. Communication is the most important aspect in organization.

    Il faut revoir votre communication c’est très nulle franchement.
    Vous ne répondez jamais aux messages ni par mail ni par WhatsApp. Et vous projetez tranquillement nos films!
    Franchement c’est ma pire expérience.
