Film Festivals importantly offer a platform for our young filmmakers to present their creative ideas, their singular stories and storytelling; their talent and skill in their making and, not least, their passion to communicate how they feel and think about the world they live in. These are things they share with us, the audience, and with other filmmakers, whether they are making more familiar live-action drama or provocative experimental films.
