    Neum underwater film festival is organized with great professionalism and stands out for its clear, engaging, and effective communication, which really highlights both the films and the filmmakers.

    It was a real honor not only to participate in this edition, but also to receive the Best Eco Film award with my film I Feel You. This recognition gives even more value to the work carried out and to the message the film conveys.
    I highly recommend this festival to anyone who loves cinema dedicated to the sea, the environment, and the exploration of the underwater world.

    Dear Giannandrea grazie mille, we chose that you film went to Eco ambient, but your film is much better and deserve more than one festival category, so, we are waiting for your new art. In 2026.
