    Response from festival:

    Thank you Neri for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
    We would like to clarify that while our festival does include an online component, we also organize live screenings as part of our event. In fact, we are excited to announce that our live event for the 2024 edition will take place on May 27-29, 2024, at KINO รšSMEV KOSICE.

    We believe that the live screenings offer a unique opportunity for filmmakers and audiences to come together, experience cinema in a communal setting, and engage in discussions about the films. We would be thrilled to have you join us at our live event and share in the excitement of the festival.
