Meet the judges 💫

ANGELO PEREZ LEBBINK Born and raised in Amsterdam, after writing reviews for an online magazine, Angelo turned to film making: production management, directing or writing, all aspects of the industry inspire him. Angelo worked on documentary, feature films, and short films. His short Flash/Crash (2022) played at festivals world wide, including Roosevelt Island Film Festival, and received many accolades and nominations. With a Masters degree in Film Studies, at the University of Amsterdam, bringing a variety of voices into storytelling is one of his motivations in contributing to the landscape”.
