My experience of VFF 2022 was overwhelming. From the organisational skills of Jakub and Karolina to get me to Bratislava to the companionship of Adela who entertained and corralled me so that I was always where I needed to be and who made sure that I was fed and watered I have nothing but admiration and gratitude. The technical staff and front of desk at Kino Lumiere were excellent. Bratislava itself was a great joy from the architecture to the food and wine. In addition to my own experience I was lucky to meet and enjoy films by directors who I would not normally have had the opportunity to meet. All in all VFF has renewed my passion for film and affirmed my opinion of kind people. Thank you all at VFF.
