    Participating in the Japan Denmark Film Festival was an amazing experience. I was truly honored to screen my film in a beautifully artistic cinema located in the peaceful and charming town of Kolding. I met many wonderful people and enjoyed spending time together watching and discussing a variety of films, as well as enjoying great food. Many thanks to the organizers for all their hard work.
