A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made the fifth edition of AKE DIKHEA? to the very special, hearth-warming, inspiring and empowering festival which it was! We were impressed by every single film and thankful for every single moment we could spend together with people with big passion for film-making, anti-racism and justice in our societies, among others @bibisarakali, @simonida7, @summerofdiscontent, @dominicwatters, @kali.mihaela, @johnhenryphillips, @benjaminmenekshee, @lawenmohtadi, @romani.herstory, @baoshea, @benjamin_chimoy, @beplvi, @galyastoyanova, @gypsyjake2021, @parampapera, @notown.films!
And we are so grateful for our lovely, smart and dedicated team! In one of the most difficult years ever, you managed to juggle constant changes and the never-ending row of new policies and you made the right decisions in the right time so the festival was possible to take place both in Berlin and online! Big up to Hamze Bytyçi @rromze, Lisa Smith @lisa_mezzy, Veronika Patočková, Otto Reuschel, Kai Hermann, Andreas Fertig, Tom Wills, Valerio Chiodino, Samuel Gieben, Carla Bäumer @clb.2nd, Zoky Deh @zokydeh, Jana Kießer @jana.kiesser, Stephanie Ballantine @stephanieballantine, Estera Stan @estera_s.s, Naomi Stan @naomi_stan_17, David Paraschiv @davyd_mantaua, Estera Elisa Paraschiv @esterapsv, Daniel Hromyko, Sarah Przybilla, Edis Galushi, Marius Roth, Linda Prusova!
