    I can’t say enough good things about this festival. Communication was fast and clear from the moment my film was selected; the staff and volunteers were incredibly warm and welcoming; and the festival was exceptionally well run. I had a magical experience screening my film Dorion in Verona. If you have a sci-fi film, I highly recommend submitting to this one-of-a-kind festival.
