  • Bad experience with this festival, I don't recommend it. I wrote asking about the screening program, I couldn't find it on the web and they haven't social media. They didn't answer me. I only found this information: https://www.art-kino.org/en/filmovi/interface-video-art-festival-2023 ,my work seems not to be among the scheduled films.

    As it's included in the rules on Filmfreeway: [Interface Video Art Festival will take place from December 5 to December 10, 2023]
    So I asked if it's the festival now is ended ¿why is my film still online at your web?https://interface-festival.com/program-2023/

    I've asked them to remove my film and they didn't .
    I'm very upset because they don't follow the rules. They haven't permission to have my work on their web beyond the days that the Festival lasts.

    First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the delayed response to your concerns and any frustration this may have caused. Our team has undergone changes since last year, and we regret that your previous messages did not reach us at the time.

    We would like to clarify a couple of important points regarding your concerns:

    Regarding the Screening Program: We understand that accessing the screening program was difficult for you, and we apologize for any confusion caused. We are working on improving how we share our festival program to ensure better visibility and accessibility for all filmmakers and attendees.

    Your Film's Online Presence: We want to assure you that we have never hosted films online after the festival's end.

We are sorry if this message was missed by the previous team, but we are happy to address your concerns now. If you would still like the information about your film removed from our program archive, we can take care of that immediately. Please let us know how you’d like to proceed.
