    Thank you for selecting CANNIBAL CORP. for your festival. After so many years and so many films, it was my first screening in lovely Croatia. And what a nice event in the Veliki Tabor Castle :D I hope I can go there some day again in the future.

    Unfortunately, living in Canada I was unable to be present for the festival. It looks pretty cool to me. I hope I can assist one day.
    My communications with the Festival administrator concerning a download problem was very friendly and comprehensive.
    Long live to this Festival and I am very happy that my short film, Sequenza No.1 was selected.
