    A powerful and important festival, it means more than a festival, a place of encounter and powerful exchanges, an immersion in new possibilities of seeing and making new worlds.
    ODÙ Film Festival is pulsating life.
    Thank you very much Black Freedom Felowship and all the open paths, for many other meetings and developments.
