We congratulate the winners as well as all participants in the Main Program for without their films, this Festival would have never taken place. The screenings were wonderful, despite the insufficient turn out. However, this was our first edition (which actually took us through the traits of making a film festival) and we as a team organizing the festival are quite satisfied of the thus-far achieved.

We, the team of Kota 2023, send you kind regards from Skopje,
