2024 program is finished, but I will consider any submissions for coming years, curation for Transfiguration is organic and a blend of new/old films. I will most likely look at your other films as well. My curation style is “organic”- I create an extremely long shortlist, made up of old and new films, that I carve out to create an emotional throughline, focusing on creating a larger picture with the pieces.

Transfiguration International Film Festival, the only film festival where we will tell you the truth: You’re in a dream, wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up! You’re in a dream! WAKE UP!!!
