We found out we were nominated for the Community Choice Awards and were so surprised we genuinely laughed out loud.

This festival was built by this community—by you. Film only exists because there’s an audience to show up, care, and keep it alive.

If you’ve been part of this with us, giving a platform to international filmmakers, help us bring it home.
