    Fantastic festival & team. The effort put into communicating the issue of the climate crisis, in creating a place for debate, in reaching out to new viewers, in particular to the youngest, is incredible. Probably the most ecological festival there is.

    I had numerous experiences in film festivals. SEFF is TOTALLY different.
    It's a small festival, but with so many values: bringing eco-films to the peripheral areas, selecting amazing films from around the world, and with an extraordinary hospitality and network of locals.
    An unforgettable experience! REALLY!

  • Thanks for letting my film "Chocolate" be selected. I look forward to the end of the epidemic soon so that I can have the opportunity to attend the festival live. Keep safe!
