    I was so impressed by this festival. They adapted to being online in 2020 much better than some significantly bigger festivals, put on a great collection of films with conservation at the heart of their programme, and their communication was fantastic throughout. They really engaged with the filmmakers on their programme and encouraged communication between participants. I was very happy to take part and will look forward to further festivals from them! Well done and thank you!
