If Kustendorf were a ordinary festival, the jury should be limited to explain the reasons for the awards that will be given. But Kustendorf Film and Music festival is much more than what its name promises. It is the demonstration that, even nowadays, a utopia can exist. Everything here is unique and extraordinary. A place that nourishes itself with beauty, originality and passion. A place open to young artists from all around the world that have the possibility to meet each other, to see and hear each others work, to listen and speak with great international artists. A place where music and cinema provide an opportunity to gather and get to know each other better.
