Among the festival’s guests we are honored by the presence of the American actor Richard Gere and the Danish Thomas Vinterberg - a former student and winner of the festival, and nowadays an esteemed filmmaker and pioneer in his field. In addition, as part of the project “It Happened One Night”, over the course of 24 hours, a group of students create films which are then screened at the cinematheque. More than just spectacular outcomes, the project assures experiencing working with international partners and a spontaneous, intensive production experience. This year, the festival grants Nachman Ingbar with a certificate of appreciation for his many years as a senior professor in the Film and Television Department at the university.
