π· COVID-19 NOTICE
Our event is scheduled end of August 2020. At the moment we cannot know if local regulations will allow the festival will be held live. If the law won't allow it, the festival will switch digital, recreating spaces for screening, exclusives, QnAs, interviews with the directors, cast & crew, and masterclasses.
π We already secured new sponsors to give away valuable digital gifts and prizes that can ship internationally.
We all hope and believe the worst of the pandemic will be behind us at that time.
We will celebrate anyway short and feature films, independent filmmakers, and ambitious creative minds.
We are using all of time right now to review the films we've already received, and to reviews all best options to promote filmmakers.
In the end, we'll all get ready to celebrate our 10th anniversary!
