OUR ATTENDEES SAY
Thank you very much again, I have no words to express so much appreciation that we were sorely lacking here in Spain with this type of independent productions. We hardly receive aid from our governments and these festivals like yours make us achieve our dreams.
MIGUEL ÁNGEL CARRIÓN, Director (Alone / Solo)
It is always a pleasure to participate in your platform at each one of its festivals!!!
Congratulations to the winners and to you for taking such great care of every detail and taking care of the participants so much!! Hugs!!!
FCO JAVIER MEDINA GONZALEZ, Director (Invisibles)
I am immensely grateful for the work that you, Andrew and his team do.
Providing a link between filmmakers and audience is priceless.
Winning the award is a joy, but making a film and presenting it is a much greater joy and I'm always flattered to be able to compete, especially with fantastic filmmakers.
Thank you very much for your existence and who knows, at the next festival, we will take an award.
Thanks for the bonuses.
Cleiton Cafeu, Director (Pig's Rock and Roll)
Thank you a lot for this beautiful screening and all the production of this event ! I spend a nice evening watching wonderful movies.
