  • Unfortunately I couldn't travel to Peru, but it seems to me to be a very complete and wonderful festival for the children and adults who were able to attend. The staff is very competent and kind. Congratulations on the excellent work. I recommend it to everyone!

  • Fue una gran experiencia exhibir "El árbol ya fue plantado" en contexto de este hermoso festival en un país hermano de Latinoamérica. A la distancia advertimos un trato muy respetuoso para con cada obra seleccionada, la nuestra incluida, por supuesto. Muchas gracias en nombre de todo el Equipo.

    The result of the examination is not announced, and it is not known where it is announced on the homepage, SNS, etc.
    It is very regrettable.

    Mi animación fue seleccionada y participó en la competencia,
    El resultado del examen no se anuncia y no se sabe dónde se anuncia en la página de inicio, SNS, etc.
    Es muy lamentable.
