    A nice Film Forum / Festival which has the mission to develop, connect and encourage the talent at the border region of Netherlands, Belgium and Germany!

    Even though it´s no the biggest festival, I was surprised by the passionate effort to give young filmmaker a platform and opportunities to learn, to build a network and to prove themselves...

    In general it´s a mix of people who are doing their first steps in the industry, but also experienced filmmakers with quite some festival experience.

    The atmosphere was familiar and mostly unpretentious which I enjoyed a lot. Even in this short time I met a lot of great people, which made it already worth it.

    It was a fantastic experience. The people organizing the festival are genuinely concerned with and focussed on the films and filmmakers. I had a great time and met many interesting people! The masterclasses were a godsend! Would highly recommend!

    A wonderful festival with a high quality film selection, where the organisers and the team are very keen to value the films and the filmmakers. There are online interviews, good Q&As and case studies so the creatives and the audience are well served. It was an honour to present our short film TILT here.
