Non-English Comments

We really appreciate the interest that is coming from around the world and we truly value everyone’s positive contributions.

That said, the focus competition is run on a very limited budget and we have no facility to translate comments to the films that are not in English – we will attempt to translate – either through the 27 languages spoken by our staff or via automatic translation facilities and we reserve the right to delete or not publish comments that we either cannot translate or where we are uncertain on content.
