Dear Mr. Sideris,
Thank you so much for your generous message and for granting your consent to include The Return of Ivan in our program. We are honored to share your powerful film as part of our section on Ukraine, and especially grateful for your openness to having it screened for students and in broader educational and community contexts.
Your commitment to ensuring that young people engage with stories like this, … especially across borders and generations, … is deeply moving and aligns beautifully with the spirit and mission of our festival.
From all of us here, please receive our heartfelt thanks and warmest regards. We will do our very best to ensure your film is received with the care and respect it so deserves.
With appreciation and every good wish,
Carlos A Torre
Director, Latino and Native American Film Festival (LANAFF)
