I had a great experience at the Euregion Film Forum. The staff was super supportive, and it is a great opportunity for filmmakers to show and discuss their work with people who are truly invested in film. Hope to see you all again!

Me and my co-director were elated to have our short be selected for this wonderful festival. Winning the prize for best short was the cherry on the cake. Of all the festivals we've been too, this one was definitely the most filmmaker-friendly. The organisation and communication was great, the interaction with the audience was motivating and the opportunities to network were a plenty. Thanks for a warm reception to the whole Euregion team. We hope to be back in the future!

Great festival, it’s clear that the organizers have a lot of heart for their festival, which created a lovely and welcoming atmosphere!
