    Terrific festival that is keenly curated. Filmmakers are warmly welcomed and treated fabulously. Audiences draw deep into the community. Projection and sound are top rate. We were thrilled to be selected to screen at this prestige festival and the experience was one of the best I have ever had at a film festival.
