CICLOPE founder & festival director, Francisco Condorelli, stated, “We had three days of inspiring talks here in Berlin, many of them about the future. We are without a doubt stepping into a new and complex era, one that feels exciting and scary at the same time. But none of us are alone in this, and the conversations and connections that happen when the creative community comes together for the CICLOPE Festival and Awards, are a clear example of ways in which we can make each other stronger, and nurture our humanity as an industry. Many congratulations to all of our 2024 winners, and a very big thank you to our sponsors who help us make this event so special.”
