Un festival que apuesta por el cine independiente. Buena comunicación con el equipo del festival. Pasamos una agradable velada en Sevilla. Muchas gracias por el reconocimiento a nuestro documental "El Seco sabe". Suerte!

Such a wonderful festival to be a part of and recognised at! Very well organised and the communication was very clear. It really felt like a celebration of a collection of artists the quality of the work shown was incredible. So so happy to have made the trip from England to be there!

Mi equipo y yo estamos profundamente agradecidos con el SEVIFF por los reconocimientos que han otorgado a nuestro cortometraje "Una lectura más". También agradecemos todas las atenciones y los detalles durante la alegre, emotiva y emocionante entrega de premios que organizaron; fue una noche que siempre recordaremos.

La gente del Seviff siempre ha sido muy comunicativa conmigo y la gente de mi cortometraje Vampiria, que por cierto ha sido ganador. Siempre han sido muy amables, y estoy agradecido que hayan dado pantalla a mi corto independiente. Gracias!
