Our staff and volunteers have spent a lot of time and effort bringing this festival to life. We expect you to extend your respect to them as you would to other attendees. Likewise, each of the films in the program were created with unique perspectives, passion and a lot of work that we want to honour together. Inappropriate or derogatory comments and disruptive noises in the cinema are not part of our festival culture.
