“"Thank you, TOFUZI, for inviting me to serve on the main competition jury in beautiful Georgia. After attending the Black Sea Animation Pitches at Annecy, I became even more interested in Georgian animation, and I look forward to the screenings, the pitching session, the masterclasses and meeting Georgian artists. And of course, I can't wait to taste Georgian cuisine and wine and see the mountains!" — Miljana Dragičević”
