Sophie van Bree, NL
So thankful to be part of this amazing festival. I won my first award in the program ‘States of Mind’ - very happy with it. I love the focus on the inside world and feel honored to be curated with my Scottish film. Such a nice team making so many filmmakers visible. Thanks again from the Netherlands!
