I have very good memories of last year’s Abcdetc Int'l Arts Festival . Even though I participated online, I still felt close to everyone. The poets’ voices were filled with emotion, and the entire event had a beautiful energy.

As an actress, I love it when words touch the heart, and the festival gave me many moments like that. I truly felt part of it.

Thank you for creating a space where we could share our poems and emotions, even from a distance.

I can’t wait for this year’s edition—finally in person. I’m excited to participate again and feel that special atmosphere together.

It was an honour to participate in ABCDETC 1st Poetry Int'l Festival 2025 based in Bucharest Romania that took place on June 19th 2025 and was held online. Reading my poems and listening as well to the poems read by distinguished fellow poets and filmmakers was a great pleasure.

This Festival provides a rare opportunity to express and to share feelings, thoughts and ideas through poetry. It is, as a whole, a comforting experience and an inspiring procedure, encounter and meeting of arts and artists. I'm looking forward to the ABCDETC 2nd Int'l Arts Festival 2025 that will take place in Bucharest Romania on December 7th 2025 and it will be held in person! Thank you for having me!

Amazing festival in Union Cinema in Bucharest! So honoured to have two of my screenplays selected winners in this, and to be represented at the festival by Florin Davidovits. Great communication, very professional, a truly memorable film festival.

While my partner and I in projects submitted could not attend the festival, we are grateful for our selection and status as Award Winners. Great to be part of a festival expanded beyond films.
