    Here at Escape Studios in London we were delighted to have our short film "Flame" selected for the London International Student Film Festival. Although Covid-19 stopped the festival from going ahead, we were still pleased to be selected.

    Had a lovely evening with the LISFF, my first ever film festival, and really loved the Shoreditch venue. My documentary 'Siân' won Best Documentary which was a happy surprise, and it was well programmed with other quality work. Has a lot of potential

    Huge thanks to London International Student Film Festival, it was great experience, very inspiring, warm and friendly atmosphere. The selection of works was just stunning, I enjoyed every second - which you don't expect from student films, but here we go! I am really honoured to be a part of it. Thanks for selecting my film, and for the prize! :-)
