    Amazing festival!
    Very good communication and organization before, during and after the festival. The Cut To: Gent team is really nice and the screening place is just as cozy as beautiful! On top of that, you spend a beautiful evening with other young filmmakers and everyone goes back home with something in the hand. Belle philosophie!
