We are proud to announce that for this edition, a total of 9 directors of different films will be present during the festival. All 9 will take the stage for informative Q&A sessions spread across our various festival locations.

The Q&A sessions give the audience a unique opportunity to get to know talented filmmakers from all over the world, and to engage in conversation with them about their films, vision and thoughts.
