    A wonderful festival and a must-see for Paranormal cinema.
    We are very grateful for the opportunity to participate with "La nana de Lilith (Lilith's Lullaby)" in this 10th edition.
    The communication has been great, both via email and social media. In addition, it is important to note the sensitivity and support of the festival towards student films such as ours.

    Really liked attending this festival. Full of nice people and good films, and the facility where the festival was held was on-point. Not perfect though, given that every session started behind schedule, but other than that, it was a great experience overall.
