    Hello,
    I am sorry. But our film was just selected and we weren't there. I don't know what it was like. So I can't write it.
    I am sure it is a professional one.

    Being part of the International Film Festival The Hague was an amazing experience. Although we couldn’t attend due to scheduling conflicts, we were really impressed by the festival’s exceptional support and dedication to both the films and filmmakers. Their professionalism truly made a lasting impression.
