    Despite not being able to attend in person, Oslo/Fusion provided great communication and it was a joy to watch from a far the strength of the festival. We were honoured to have Homebird play among some great shorts and hopefully we can be involved again in the future!

    Oslo/Fusion is such a nice festival with a really well curated program. It was great to be there as a guest and to see all the amazing films.
    I enjoyed every second of it and will for sure go again next year! <3

    I was so grateful to be part of this festival! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to be there in person, because I live in New York, but the festival staff helped me feel present with excellent communication and support. Hope I can come to the next!

    It was such an honour to have our film screened at two of the most respected cinemas in Oslo through the Oslo/Fusion festival. While the filmmakers' participation was limited during the events, the quality of the screenings was top-notch and the festival staff were very chill and hospitable. The selection of films was quite varied despite the festival having a specific theme (queer stories), and I quite enjoyed watching the shorts as well one of the features.
