Raph Seymour’s film YELLOW DRESS won Best Experimental. The feedback was thoughtful, intelligent and helpful. She was invited to take part in a podcast, (her first) which was celebratory and very encouraging for a new film maker, and it is out there as a really wonderful and illuminating watch. I cannot recommend this festival enough. it is fairly unique, and will change any young filmmakers practice for the better !! Thank you.
Thank you for recognizing a story that’s as much about survival as it is about sacrifice. To be included alongside other filmmakers and screenwriters committed to telling urgent, grounded environmental narratives means a great deal to me as a screenwriter.

thank you so much for the award for best short film, ‘Our Sea Forest’ this was a film a few years in the making, that helped make real change, so it was very heartwarming to receive the lovely comments about the film. I am just sorry i couldn’t be there in person. I am sure the hospitality and networking would have been 5 *
It was an honour to win best short here – Matthew and the team really care and take the time! The addition of the viewer feedback was great and something that you don’t really see elsewhere. Keep up the good work!
The entire event was impeccably organized, and the selection of films and screenplays presented was not only enlightening but also inspiring. It was evident that each piece was chosen for its powerful message and its potential to provoke thought and stimulate discussion regarding our environment and sustainability.
What truly stood out to me was the audience engagement. The feedback and reactions during the screenings were profound, reflecting a diverse audience deeply invested in environmental issues. This interactive aspect of the festival enriched the experience, providing invaluable insights and fostering a community spirit that was truly special.
Thanks from Paris for the best short film award we got for our film The Flood. Great festival, it’s so nice to get filmed feedbacks from the audience!
MISMATCH, 2min., USA Directed by Luna Lee A seemingly ordinary matchstick, repeatedly dismissed and denied recognition as a military veteran, slowly ignites with emotion—until it finally flames up, revealing the true weight of the micro aggressions it endured.
LISTEN TO THE UNIVERSE, 27min., USA Directed by Elizabeth Rosa Landau, Kimberly Arcand NASA is famous for beautiful space images, but did you know you can listen to them? Go behind the scenes with the team that creates “sonifications,” translations of data into sound, and learn how meaningful they are to people who are blind or low-vision.
I have to really thank the actors for my reading, nothing short of terrific as they were, nothing short of incredibly smart, attractive, and perceptive as they were. They brought the script to life. – F. Maffai

Very good festival and very good feedback. I really appreciate the honest feedback that the viewers gave. The reaction they gave was exactly what I was going for when we filmed the movie. The surprise was to have Stratagem the movie get voted for best feature film. Very humbled and honored. Thank you all for your professionalism and communication.

Excellent and useful review notes. Notifications were timely and frequent. Excellent festival for networking opportunities.
Really cool hybrid festival. Great communication. I would definitely recommend this to any other filmmakers based on the feedback videos alone
Really Great Festival and some great extra options
Awesome festival, but what really sold me was the audience feedback videos they made. Great marketing material for the project! Would definitely recommend for indie filmmakers.
