A Celebration of Creativity at IASAS Cultural Convention Hosted by ISKL!
“Watching our final creations on the big screen was a thrilling experience and brought us immense pride and joy. This experience allowed me to forge new friendships, learn new techniques, and explore a genre of filmmaking very different from what I’m used to. I’m incredibly grateful for everything I gained from this event.” – Xinti L. (Grade 10)
