“We are happy to see increasingly stimulating diversity each year among the submissions sent to the Filmmakers Academy. It offers a beautiful picture of vitality for contemporary cinema. The most remarkable aspect this year is the palpable desire, evident through the numerous amazing short films that we saw, to expand the boundaries of cinematic language, opening up to contaminations with other forms of visual creation. Thanks to this, through the Filmmakers Academy, we not only see the most promising talents of the future emerging, but we see the future of cinema itself taking shape”.
