  • Even though 2 of my short movies were selected they were never screened nor i received certificates for which they extra emailed us to fill out the forms. The bottom line seams like a scam festival

  • Delighted to have our documentary short "Yayu and The Wimborne Folk Festival" selected, recognising our female participants and crew. Excellent communication throughout these difficult times, we wish them our very best wishes.

  • Covid-19 has made it impossible to travel for film festivals or anything else. The arrangements made by festivals to have online, virtual screenings and other activities is valuable for both encouraging filmmakers as well as to keep alive film viewing culture. I could not be in Tunisia for this festival and cannot comment about the networking or hospitality but everything else about the festival and organizers in my experience was first rate.

    July 2020
  • My film has been selected and I have sent email to them. But there was no response and I think actually there was no any festival. Communication is really under zero!
