Camera Zizanio

Messages from participants of the 7th Camera Zizanio and 10th Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People

From Sweden

Dear Lito and Nikos and everybody else who have been working so hard for the Camera Zizanio and the Youth Action Program,
Many hugs and a big THANKYOU from all of us in the Swedish group. My teenagers did not want to go home and it seems like they allready know that they want to return next year. They better make some new films during the spring and the summer!
I had also a very nice and interesting time and I enjoyed your festival very very much. It is very professional and at the same time you manage to keep the warm atmosphere. I think it is just fantastic that so many young people are so active and working so hard together with the little more grownups. I also enjoyed Olympia Film Festival – very good selction of films! The mixture of the both festival and the workshops that you had this year is just wonderful.
All my warmest regards and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!!!
Britt-Marie

We are home safe, but still high as kites after such an incredible week. Thank you so much for everything. I will now take out some ideas I have written for films about young people and maybe turn them into a reality. I cannot say how much I enjoyed the week too, to meet so many wonderful people was just fantastic. The boys are so happy. They are busy working on their next films already.

We arrived safe and in time in Holland this afternoon. Very tired but also very happy.
I want to thank all of you for the hospitality you offered during our stay in Pyrgos. Being at the festival was a warm experience for me and for my three students. They wished they had been there sooner!
Love, Franka.

Thank you very much for a fun, intensive and also educating festival

It was a nice and interesting programme and we in the jury had a lot of discussions, we didn´t always have the same ideas and favourites but in the end I think we came up with a good selection.

BUT

I really must say I am impressed by the Zizanio part of the festival all the Screenings & workshops. In the bus back to the airport the Swedish group led by Britt-Marie Meyer spoke about how fantasic time they have had. They said that they had to go home and really make a good film so that they could come back to Pyrgos next year. And the beatiful Swedish girl she sat and cried over the Dutch boy who had declared his love to her from stage! Love and film in Olympia Film Festival .

kindest regards

Rose-Marie

Dear Zizanio,

I am sorry we were not able to be with you this year, but our thoughts were.

We all hope you had a wonderful festival and that the children were inspired and uplifted by the films from around the world.
