Dear Orphan Film Symposium organizers,
Thank you.
Orphans 2020 was truly the best festival I’ve ever been to.
Not only were all sessions so inspirational, the organization was so smooth, it also felt so friendly and close as the ideas about avant-garde cinema, archive films, and equality and justice were widely shared. I’m so grateful I could attend the festival for my first time. Bill Morrison was right, when he had said that this has always been an exceptional event.
Thank you, also, that you made the whole program so accessible, without any geographical restrictions, further registration or fee. So even I, in Olomouc, Czech Republic, could attend.
Big thank you and let the good vibes go on!
