    Incredible festival. We were honored to take part in this festival alongside so many beautiful short films, and we are also honored to have won the award for Best Documentary. The gala evening was wonderful, full of great screenings, and the organization gave filmmakers space to present their work and share their stories. It was also a great opportunity to build valuable connections.

    Grazie ancora per lo splendido evento di proiezione e premiazione del 27 Marzo, è stata una bellissima serata, ci siamo sentiti tra amici, un grazie alla conduttrice Elena Rossetto che ha reso l'evento molto accogliente e un grazie al Festival e alla giuria per aver premiato il mio cortometraggio BROKEN nella categoria SUSPENSE:

  • Filmmaker
