The convergence of academics and filmmakers at KILAF’s overall activities is perhaps the most unique aspect of the event. The two groups had no chance to meet one another for constructive engagements until this initiative was introduced back in 2018. Similarly, the interactive sessions organized during film screenings add to the opportunity of mingling to establish new contacts. The Master Classes lend itself as an avenue to meet and make new friends. Generally, the cordial relationships promoted at KILAF give birth to further associations that expand the horizon of comradeship.
