    Je suis très fière que notre film soit en compétition officielle à Divulge Dancers' Film Festival. La qualité de l'événement est irréprochable. Les films en compétition sont très originaux et engagés. Je recommande ce festival car il met en valeur les films dédiés à la danse sous toutes ses formes venant du monde entier. Les meilleurs figurent en compétition officielle. C'est une chance de pouvoir voir notre film parmi ces pépites audiovisuelles. Je souhaite une longue vie au festival. Si vous êtes réalisateurs je vous conseille de participer.
