    I was very happy to participate the festival. I was only a little disappointed that as a participator I wasn't able to watch my own film (or any of the films) at the virtual festival without creating a membership. Overall a positive experience.

    I was proud to have my short doc MUSIC IS LIFE selected by AJFF. The quality of films was high, and the communication from the organizers was excellent. Thank you!

    Our movie movie Tango Shalom got great exposure as part of the festival, due to their media connections.
    We were honored to win several awards! The festival is quality oriented in their programming . Although it is their first year they have done a great job. Networking is still a challenge during the pandemic for many festivals, but I foresee that they will continually find solutions in that regard . I highly recommend them. Claudio Laniado, actor, producer, screenwriter of Tango Shalom
