    Great festival, good communication and very helpful! They have a diverse collection of great works by many artists, which we do not see often. We need more festivals like it! :)

  • Fui seleccionado con el cortometraje "Fuggiro Tanto Amore". A pesar de que no pude ir a la India, la comunicación fue en todo momento fluida, rápida y perfecta, manteniéndome actualizado en todo momento.

    Unfortunately I couldn't go, but my representatives who did were pleased by the hospitality and professionalism. It's too bad that not a lot of people attended, because otherwise it's a great experience!
