    Le FINN est un festival d'une très grande qualité pour les passionnés de nature. J'ai eu la chance de voir 2 de mes films amateurs primés. Malheureusement je n'ai pas eu le plaisir jusqu'à présent d'aller sur place mais il y a beaucoup d'animations en dehors de la projection des films et beaucoup de visiteurs. Je recommande !

    Excellent festival!
    I watched some documentaries in competition and they were all inspiring. Many times I have asked for information and I have always received an exhaustive and immediate response.
    It was a privilege to participate.
