“Now that AI tools have democratized creativity, curation is more important than ever. During the festival, I was amazed at the quality of the selected films, and excited to interact with such talented creators via zoom,” said winning Argentinian filmmaker Andres Aloi (The Abyss), “As such, taking home two major awards was certainly an honor.”

“As a film professional, I drove 75 miles to see this festival, and it was worth it” says attendee Mila Albertson. “Fantastic films all of them, and it was fascinating to discuss each film interactively together with a panel of such wonderful international filmmakers and an engaged audience.”
