Our project is very pleased that it was chosen. However, it is not at all clear whether the festival was held this year. No one answers the mail, unfortunately everything is very confusing. We wish you success in such a difficult time and hope that the festival will take place in 2022.

Thank you for nominee! My film "The Promenade" actuelly its been awarded in many film festivals around the world until now and also in this one (LifeArt Festival) and i am very thankful of this ofcourse but have no clue about this LifeArt festival how it works, where and when the films been screened or taking place etc..? It is a lovely websajt but what else of this filmfestival is going on ?. Onother thing is that the awards and nomination is 2022 but its says 2021 in the selection??? And the notification delays been repeated many times and rescheduale without any notice? Hm this is really strange and hard to get a grip of the festival and whats going on.. perhaps more "defacto" info around those things will feel more serious and trustful i guess. The websajt seemed proffesional but the rest is a big question that i hope could be more substantial. I am ofcourse happy for the selection of my film etc..thank you so much for the award. Looking forward to the next one with more info.
