Quote

Attending Karlovy Vary Variety Critics’ Choice was a true highlight of the SNAP festival calendar. Not only was it an unparalleled opportunity to participate meaningfully in a curated community of European filmmakers, it was a chance to bring SNAP to a city that celebrates film on a scale I have not seen. All in all, a deeply inspiring experience, the generous dividends of which I am still enjoying over a year later.
