Hi there. I was unable to attend this festival, but the communication with the hosts was perfect. The program looks lovely and I wish I got some feedback on the screening of my film. I do wish I could attend. It looked like a wonderful place to visit and share my film. Thank you for the selection and wishing you all good times.

Ottimo festival, organizzato da professionisti che hanno a cuore la crescita di giovani registi internazionali. Del buon vino siculo e una selezione di film consapevole, con la cornice dei Cantieri Culturali nel quartiere Zisa a Palermo, rendono l'atmosfera conviviale e interessante. Un grazie a tutti, alla prossima!

Thank you for the official selection of our film THE PROFESSIONAL PARENT. The atmosphere at the festival was wonderful and offered many great networking opportunities. The film is currently For Your Consideration in category Best Live Action Short Film, and I believe that participating in this festival has also helped increase its visibility. I’m grateful that my film could be part of your festival. Wishing you all the best!
