“Adelaide Film Festival combines an exquisite film program with an incredibly professional and welcoming organising team. I travelled for 24 hours from Spain to meet a bold audience that welcomed my film with an unexpected sensitivity. I also experienced strong and deep personal exchanges; the professionals from the South Australian film industry have been attentive and generous hosts.” – Julia de Castro
