I traveled all the way from the Ohio (USA) Hinterlands to Kassel, Germany for this film festival, and I was not disappointed. It even helped me clarify in my own mind my position the world of film - International Trashfilmmaker! What an honor to be included in this great festival. I sure hope I can return next year!

I didn't get to go there, but it seemed like an incredible festival, and promoted by people who love Independent Cinema.
