  • Montevideo is a very good experience for us.
    I would like to say that it is very meaningful for us that a film from the Rojava Film Commune received an award in the best feature film category.
    A strong solidarity and bond has been formed for our cinematographic works that can be a step towards the bright days of the future.
    We are proud to dedicate our award to all the peoples of the world who are struggling for freedom, to the unity of struggle, and to the belief in a better world.
    We extend our thanks and love to the Montevideo World Film Festival team.

  • My IDEA - Miniatures by Improvisers is a long experimental music film and every festival which actually screens it must be artistically open. I'm glad I submitted to 9th Montevideo World Film Festival and recommend them.

  • It's an honor for me to win The Best Animated Feature in 2022. Thank you for your interest in my film, PotenDogs, which is devoted to the awareness of dogs in South Korea. I hope the world pay attention to how the animal awareness is changing in South Korea, especially the dogs.
