People's Choice

An odd picture but one with a tale... 
An early start for the first session of the day and a late finish with the very last session of the Festival. 
I had a couple of others during the day, but also time to mooch about, catch up with folks, chillax. 
Having been told I was also announcing the People's Choice Award for Best Film I decided to volunteer to help with the count late afternoon. Whilst we had a clear and much deserved winner what struck me most was than every single film on the entire program got at least a vote, a huge validation of the selection committees work and testament to the quality of the entries.
Its been a blast, already looking forward to 2023

Grand Prize: The Hermit of Trieg
