“We believe that we can make a difference by showcasing the most inspirational stories about our country, its diversity and culture and as long as we continue to enjoy the peculiar sensation of gathering with a bunch of strangers in a darkened theatre, film will always matter”, said LABRFF co-founder Meire Fernandes.
