    I am really happy to have had my short filme selected to this festival. I am convinced this will be soon a top one amongst the more than 15 thousand worldwide. Such a shame the selected films could not take part in a presencial event which I believe was for Covid restrictions but hopefully next time will be different! Looking forward to submitting my next projects! Thank you
