I am very glad that we have been nominated to such a prestigious award. This is a capstone of the work and commitment of the whole festival's team and many people and institutions that support us – says Barbara Jaroszyk, the director of EFF Integration You and Me. - There are more and more films concerning the problematicity of disability – clever, interesting, brave. Our Festival is a place where sensitive film makers telling incredible, sometimes difficult but always important stories can meet audience appreciating cinema which stimulates thinking. Therefore, it's satisfactory that the jury of PFI has noticed our project.
