Some comments from the students
My evaluation is first of all high since I have learned a lot (starting from zero) and met good people, enjoyed working in my team a lot and appreciate the opportunity to visit the Venice Film festival very much. The summer school is an ambitious and great course and I value that it brings together students and lecturers from at least four different contexts, it is well organized and one can feel that the people who work at VIU care about the students and the course.
I really enjoyed this program and those ten days living on campus, exploring Venice and film
festival and growing bondings with my classmates, roommates and teammates. And it was also
a great chance to make another short film, which was the best experience of teamwork ever in
my life.
