“We understand completely that the festival had to be online for health and safety precautions – the solution chosen was elegantly delivered! The Demetera team provided excellent feedback throughout the process and the only regret is that we were not able to meet them in person! We hope to send submissions in the future that may be suitable for another edition of Demetera - there is the possibility of a networking event post-pandemic - which sounds so lovely - and is such a nice effort considering what an effort organizing the festival certainly must have been - (the team even provided viewing statistics gathered during the online festival!) Thanks again for selecting our animated music video!”

“I was very happy to participate in your festival which I found young and full of energy. The organization and management of the online videos was excellent and precise. I imagine that rethinking an online festival quickly was not easy and for this reason my congratulations.”

“Demetra was a very friendly festival. Communication was prompt. It was obvious that festival organizers really cared to make it special, even during the pandemic. I received a sheet with information on how many times my film was screened on what day after the festival was over - what a nice touch. I highly recommend it.”
Dorothea Braemer
Director
“Thanks to Joyce & the DIFF2021 panel for selecting me. It was very exciting to be part of the festival outside of my country Aotearoa(New Zealand). I would definitely return to show case more work if I was selected again. Thanks for your hospitality it really meant a lot...Ali”

“This time it was an online edition so it was obviously difficult to hold the event in a smooth way but they actually managed really well! Very well curated, taylored, quick feedbacks, an very good shorts! I am very happy I participated and honored I won the animated section with my "The Wedding Cake" :)”
