I'm immensely proud that my film, The Truth: Lost at Sea, won the Best Film award in the Human Security category at the 2018 edition of the festival. Also, the communications with the festival organizers were top-notch, and they kept in touch with me even after the festival for remaining questions I had. They also dedicated the time at my screening for one of the characters in my film to address the audience in a Q&A session, since I could not attend myself. Bold festival with a strong line-up. I'll definitely submit future projects to them again.

I was not able to attend, but the communication was good, and I was very happy to know that my film will be screened in this festival. It showcases and promotes film which matters and subject related to human rights. Will definitely apply with future projects.
