    This festival is small but mighty! The screening was packed and events surrounding the festival itself made me feel welcomed into an awesome community of filmmakers and fans of dance on camera. It was an honor to share my film with such an enthusiastic group.

    We at The Physical TV Company in Sydney were delighted to be part of your festival with our film "Digital Afterlives". It would have been great to be there, but we enjoyed all our contact with the festival. Good luck for the next one!
