What Our Attendees Say
“Lovely experience! Alida and her team went all out to make the festival a great opportunity for networking and support. It was fantastic getting to meet and chat with all the talented directors and filmmakers along with other folks in the industry.”
Natasha Redmond, Independent Filmmaker
“This is a really well put together and organised festival and I was delighted that My Husband Is A Dog was selected. Alida works really hard to create opportunities for filmmakers to connect and support each other and there was a great atmosphere! It was also fabulous to see the film on a proper cinema screenin 4k as it was shot for.”
