Day 3: Pitch Comp & Awards Gala

We started our third day with our shorts screening followed by the pitch competition hosted in collaboration with Rifelion. We closed out Day 3 with our unforgettable Awards Gala hosted by Faris Hytiaa, who kept the energy up with laughs, along with an unforgettable performance by Tamtam who stole our hearts.
