Travel Fest Albania was a rewarding experience. My short film ‘Elements’ was part of the competition, and although I could not attend personally, I appreciated the opportunity to see it screened at the festival. The selection of films from different countries created an interesting atmosphere and the opportunity to present my work.

What a pleasure to have been part of this great festival. The team is pro and friendly, the organisation is effective and the Albanian are so welcoming. On the top of that, my film “Noria” received the Best Script Award in the “Expeditions and Routes” category! What more could I ask?

I was very honored to receive Best Cinematographer Award for Caged with Great White Sharks, but I received notification only two days prior to the awards night in Albania. I live in the US, so attending was impossible, but Pandeli Ceco was very communicative and gracious and accommodated a short video to address the award. Thank you Travel Fest Albania!
