Nora Armani, Founding Artistic Director of SRFF said,
"This has been a whirlwind experience; an enriching week of cinema for our patrons. Our YouTube channel subscriptions more than quadrupled, we reached audiences never before reached, and our website visits went out the roof. I thank everyone involved, specifically the filmmakers, our partners and sponsors, and the festival team for making it all possible."
