    This is a fantastic festival, very well organised and is run by people who are very passionate about films. You can always count on friendly and efficient communication with the festival director, Mr Marino Demata, the selected works are outstanding and the awards are very motivating for filmmakers. This is a great place to submit your film or screenplay, I will certainly do it again in the near future!
