    Thank you, London Movie Awards, for selecting RESONANCE.

    This selection means much more than an official recognition. It has allowed the largely forgotten story of the Algerian (Kabyle) deportees of the Pacific to travel across continents and reach new audiences.

    I am deeply grateful for the bridge your festival has helped build between Oceania, Africa, Europe, and the wider world through cinema.

    Thank you as well for embracing a transmedia work where storytelling, music, and artificial intelligence come together in service of a deeply human vision: one in which technology helps create new imaginaries that honor memory, cultural diversity, and respect for all living beings.

    I sincerely hope RESONANCE will continue to resonate far beyond the screen.
