exchange ideas, and create partnerships for future projects. The festival
showcases exceptional films from the region and has venues such as the Grand
Master’s Palace and St. George’s Square. The next edition is scheduled for June
22-30, 2024.
Awards across
categories will include best feature, acting performance, screenwriting and

Los Angeles-based casting director Margery Simkin; Uruguayan cinematographer
