Festival Testimonials ........
Deborah Wright
The NICE International Film Festival was one of the best film festivals that I have ever participated in as a director and producer. Every aspect of the festival was managed with excellence, from the communications with the festival director and staff, to the beautiful festival magazine, to the quality of films that I had the pleasure of watching, to the awards ceremony.
Giuseppe Monticciolo
If there was one thing we especially loved about this festival, it's how involved everyone was with each others work. Us film makers were chatting until the ends of each night about our greatest passions, and especially the awards night will be one of the most unforgettable evenings of our lives.
We look forward to applying to all the future Nice festivals to come, and further than that, to stay a part of this incredible Film Festival International community.
