Jury 2023


Ontmoet onze Festivaljury!

Bij het Internationaal Kortfilmfestival Kalmthout 2023 bekijkt onze vakjury live in de zaal alle films, behalve die in de Documentaire categorie. Ze hebben de documentaires thuis al bekeken, zodat ze tijdens het festival even kunnen pauzeren. Zo zijn ze helemaal klaar voor de actie op 7 oktober!
