    I am profoundly honored and humbled that "ALLURE" has been bestowed the esteemed feature film award at this vibrant international film festival in France. For a film that delves subtly yet deeply into the human soul, the recognition comes as both a surprise and a testament to the festival's commitment to appreciating intricate narratives. As a filmmaker, being chosen here not only paves the way for a promising future for me but also serves as a beacon of hope for upcoming directors. My deepest respect and gratitude to this festival, which echoes the essence of true cinema. Merci beaucoup. Bisous!
