SIWFFstar¡¯s Words
¡°For me, the SIWFF has always been a reliable companion. I am grateful and delighted that the festival has created a place for me to contribute. I send my utmost respect and love to the countless female filmmakers around the world who have paved the path for me. I am also deeply thankful to the festival for providing a space where I can share such sentiments. I once received encouragement when I visited the festival as an audience. I return to receive courage again, just like then. Let¡¯s meet in this endlessly vast and colorful place.¡±
