    Though I wasn’t able to attend, I asked some family to go check it out. Both years in a row I was honored with an official selection! Communication was great and I hope to submit and be able to travel and see in person in the future.

    Thank you very much for screening "My Day in Kyiv in Summer 2022" on your festival! It seems by photo, that it was a warm atmospheric event in Silvertone. Thank you for the support of Ukraine!
