    Un gran bel festival dedicato a un pubblico in età scolare: coinvolgente per gli studenti e organizzato con grande passione! Partecipare a questo festival e avere la possibilità di mostrare il nostro corto a migliaia di ragazzə ci ha reso davvero molto felici, vincere un premio è stata la ciliegina sulla torta! Grazie di tutto!
