We still can\u2019t quite believe what a fantastic edition of the festival we\u2019ve experienced. We\u2019re incredibly happy and grateful for that. The international guests \u2013 who travelled from as far afield as Ecuador and South Africa \u2013 threw themselves wholeheartedly into the festival and shared their time, their films, and also their thoughts and personalities with us. It was a continuous process of getting to know one another and a supportive exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas.<\/p>\n

The audience delighted us with their interest \u2013 many screenings were sold out, and we recorded a record number of over 500 accredited attendees. People took the opportunity to experience events, some of them unique, and to engage in conversation \u2013 with filmmakers, DoPs, producers, actors, protagonists, activists and curators. We say THANK YOU and look forward to next year.<\/p>\n
