    It was an honor to visit the Cortoons animation festival. Great hospitality by the organizers and we had a great time in beautiful town of Gandia! The festival was full of great diverse and fun events throughout and had so many visitors. One of the best if not the best festivals I’ve been to and I can’t wait to visit again! Gracias!

    We loves you Nikola!!!

  • Michal Kracmer

    The only contact that festival made with me was when I actually wrote them that our film was notified as selected and noone has reached to us. Their email was this: "we can't download the screening copy from Filmfreeway or Vimeo. Could you please send us by wetransfer at this address?" Nothing more. I find it quite rude and disrespectful.

    Response from festival:

    Dear Michal, your short film was selected for the official competition from among 2,100 short films, becoming part of the 80 officially screened, and you were notified, like all the other selected authors, through this platform. We also had to remind you to send the file for screening as it was not uploaded, like the other 100 on this same platform or on Vimeo. What exactly is rude and disrespectful? Do you think we should phone all the authors or invite them to Spain or have 100 short films win every year? Do you know what it means to organise a festival for 19 years? So, dear Michal, instead of insulting you should thank us, not for selecting "Lights" for the competition, but for giving authors from all over the world the chance to show their works to the public and relate to the Festivals with less arrogance, less presumption and a little more respect.

    A festival on this topic is really a necessary one. Please keep working on generating this exquisite programming for the audiences.

    Thank you Gisela, we will continue to work...

  • We were very honoured to have received the Special Cortoons Festival award for our graduation film 'Small Hours' and have to say it was the most wholesome and inviting festival I have ever been to.

    The organisers treated us like family and movie stars all at once, making sure we were always taken care of and the atmosphere they created just felt like home away from home. We made so many new filmmaker friends and I'm sure we will come back with the next project!

    This is truly a special festival I wish everyone could experience. It will be really tough to top this experience from now on as they set the bar really high! Thank you form the bottom of our hearts!

    It was a fantastic festival experience. Alessandro and his team took good care of us and all was perfectly organised. We met lots of lovely, interesting people. An overall nice atmosphere, a diverse programme for yound and old, entertaining and thought-provoking. Plus a Mediterranean Indian summer - what more can you wish for?
