"Hi there it's Emir Aktel, I am the lead director of ICSFF. We created this festival with the perspective of submitters. Our goal is not just to pay respect to the indie filmmakers, but also creating a global film community. Every filmmaker who gets selected to our festival will be a part of this community. Every filmmaker will know each other (and each others work) and we will make online roundtable events and interviews. We care about filmmaking, that's why our jury team writes reviews for our selections. We want to get bigger and we want to create a special environment for short films. We want this community to be transparent and collective.''
