Dear Rosana and Dean.

I would like to start by simply saying, 'fantastique', what a wonderful way to spend the weekend with people from around the globe who all share the same passions and beliefs about making great, positive films that ultimately engage there audiences in such a truly amazing way. Your whole team in Monaco were so caring and kind towards us and all the other festival attendees, thank you so much. We at Emerald Sky Films believe that this festival is a great platform for any film maker whether experienced or novice, it allows people to showcase there talents in such a positive and relaxed way that puts the audience and the filmmaker at total ease. I am just so pleased that our film 'All the way Up connected with everyone and I'm proud to say that the awards we won, will be taking centre stage in my life's achievements for a very long time. With the most heart felt thanks.

Ben Sweet
Producer - Emerald Sky Films, UK

Rosana and Dean,

Thank you for holding such an amazing festival. I'm honored to have been a part of it. You brought together extraordinary people from around the globe who share a common social message and passion for film. With such an array of talent it's no surprise that the screenings were incredible and with such personalities it's no surprise that the after-parties were so much fun. Everyone from the filmmakers and actors in attendance to the judges, organizers, entertainment, and photographers shared an artistic interest and love for a good time. I made unforgettable friendships and returned to Los Angeles a bit nostalgic but with fresh impetus and creative inspiration.

I hope to keep in touch with everyone from the festival and wish you and everyone else the best in future projects. I look forward to seeing what everyone does next (and tipping a few bottles of champagne over "après").

Dear Friends,

Mark and I were pleasantly surprised at the audience reaction to the screening (and it was SO good to see our documentary on a big screen). I have written a review for the Radio Geronimo website which you might like to read below:
"Having spent many hours viewing the rushes, transcribing the interviews and viewing edits it was almost a revelation to finally see the documentary on the big screen. The audience reaction was great, with laughter - which we didn't quite expect. I commented to Mark that I didn'’t realise we had been making a comedy. But it was empathizing laughter prompted by the comments from the interviewees and the occurrences such as jamming the BBC. The audience understood the aim of the station. They definitely weren'’t laughing at it. After the screening we were invited onstage to address the audience and were able to reinforce the achievements of the station, the premature ending, the lifetime of events seemingly crammed into less than 12 months, the counterculture vibe... The irony that the film festival was being held at the very site from where Geronimo was broadcast was not lost on the audience. Effectively Geronimo had returned to Monte Carlo 40 years after its demise. Afterwards in the foyer several people sought further info and were generally interested in the story. They found it difficult to comprehend that the programmes were produced in the opulent splendour of 1 Harley Street London West One, airfreighted to Nice, and broadcast from Monte Carlo. This disbelief, or incredulity, was more to do with WHY it was necessary to go through such a tortuous route just to broadcast music, primarily to Great Britain. Such was the poverty of good music and radio in 1970 Britain...
Many thanks to Dean Bentley and Rosana Golden

Liebe Rosana, lieber Dean,

wir möchten euch nochmals ganz herzlich für diesen tollen Event danken. Es war sensationell. Selten habe ich so viele fantastische, sympathische Menschen getroffen. In der Filmbranche stösst man so oft auf Arroganz und Missgunst. Nicht so beim Angel Film Festival! Es war wirklich einzigartig. Dies ist nicht zuletzt euch beiden zu verdanken, die ihr mit eurem Charme und Esprit dem Festival Glanz verleiht.
Meinen Dank auch an Daniela und Sophie, die einen tollen Job gemacht haben. Ich weiss die viele Arbeit zu würdigen, die hinter so einem Event steckt.
Wir wünschen euch alles Gute und Liebe. Erholt euch ein wenig, bald geht es wieder von vorne los.

Alles Liebe,
Marianne & Carsten Rauin, award winning writer "White Angels" Switzerland

Hi Rosana & Dean!

It was so great to meet you in Monte Carlo! Thank you for everything. We loved seeing you again and look forward to seeing again very soon.

I'm already editing the documentary and the report is being transmitted on national television today at 16h, tomorrow, Sunday at 18h and Monday at 16h! You can watch it live on the internet!
I will send you a DVD with the full video report and also the full photo report (we have more than 100 good ones).

Dear Rosana, Dean

"We had such a great and constructive time in Monaco International Film Festival. We had the chance to watch great films and meet very interesting people. On the other hand we had so much fun also. Angel Film Awards is a great event that promotes universal values such as love, friendship, peace, unity and must continue for many many years coming. We are very honored that our film ''Nightfall of Eden'' was awarded by the AFA jury with two awards (Best Cinematography & Peace Award in Short Film) and we are very proud about it. AFA is a celebration of film making" -

Fanos Christophides, producer, Cyprus

Dearest Rosanna and Dean,

thank you so much for inviting me as a Jury member to the Angel Film Awards in Monaco this year. You were both such wonderful hosts. I had an amazing time and absolutely loved watching all the international films. there were so many talented people this year and it was really tough making decisions with the other jurors for the Angel awards.

I really enjoyed the time I had at the festival especially at the parties. I made so many new friends who were all really lovely and very talented people and I hope to be working with them in the near future. We all became one big happy family and thats what I particularly loved about the festival.

I only wish the festival was longer than 3 days as I really miss everyone especially you. I really cant wait to be back next year as the Angel festival is so unique and by far my favorite event of the year.

My warmest thanks and love to you, Dean and Daniella. You all did a fantastic job in organizing the ceremony and the parties .

I wish you both a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

lots of love

"Winning Best Humanitarian Screenplay for Call of the Maestro was a great honor. When a Festival with the prestige and reputation of the Monaco International Film Festival bestows recognition on stories about people with great spirit it is a privilege to receive such an award on their behalf. For the same reason it was equally humbling to receive two Angel Film Awards for our other film Being Martin which is also about someone who shows the boundless qualities of human endeavor. There are not many festivals that pride themselves in celebrating the human spirit but Monaco, founded by Rosana Golden and Dean Bentley, must one of the few who truly do justice to it."

With many thanks
Lou Hamilton. Writer, director, UK

Hi Rosana and Dean,

Absolutely lovely to meet you both too and thank you for your kind words regarding Sophie, I completely agree! We both had a wonderful experience at the Angel Awards so thank you both for your incredible hospitality.
'It was an absolute pleasure to win two prestigious awards for our movie Different Kind Of Love at the Angel Film Awards. We were very inspired by the choice, diversity and quality of films that were selected and had an incredibly positive experience of the festival. Well done Rosana and Dean and keep up the wonderful work! Vikki Scott, Producer of Different Kind Of Love

Merry Christmas!

Dear Rosana and Dean

I was sorry not to find you both to say goodbye before I left Monte Carlo and to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the truly wonderful experience that is the Angel Film Awards, Monaco International Film Festival. I wanted to send you flowers today but can't find an address to send them to you!

You have both created a wonderful (and unstoppable!!!) atmosphere and unique festival that has touched many lives and I am so happy and lucky to have been part of it. You have indeed a true talent for putting interesting and good people and their work together with such generous spirit. Everything was truly appreciated by everyone.

Tim Seyfert and I enjoyed seeing all the films and meeting the faces that belong to them and we enjoyed all the generous parties and events. A truly unforgettable experience and I was very touched by the kindness and warmth of everyone involved.

I hope that you and Dean are managing to relax at last or will be able to soon.

I am very happy with my awards and keep looking at them in joy! You certainly deserved your own award and may there be many more for you in the future and many more successes for you and others.

I hope to see you in the near future!

Thank you again for everything and for inviting us to take part in the festival. Please give my thanks to all those involved.

Hi, Rosana and Dean

For me, the experience in Monaco was amazing. I met a lot of
interesting people in a beautiful town and in a very warm human
atmosphere. And we also won three prizes, so... what else can I ask
for?? I miss those days there... Thanks Rosana and Dean for giving me
the chance to have that experience, plenty of love and good energy.

Dear Rosana, dear Dean,

It was wonderful meeting you in Monaco and I felt honored that my film was shown at the AFA and I enjoyed the AFA very much. It's truly a film festival of a very special kind.

I hope that after all your overly busy organizing time you could find some quiet off-time and enjoy Christmas!?

Here I am sending you a little poem of mine with my hope and wishes for you and your loved ones:

The wings of a butterfly,
Are like the swing of Angels' wings,
If you listen, and please do try,
The waves will reach you as if a bird sings,
The vibes will caress your ears dearly,
Will open your heart,
Will widen your senses clearly,
Will brighten a blessed new start,

May magic wings touch you,
And ring in a blessed new year,
May peace be within you,
And guide you without fear,
May light and love side with you,
May you remain us dear,
always.

Warm regards from the snowy country,

I want to wish you a happy New Year and thank you for your festival.

Here some pictures I took.

I can tell you that since I have won the Best Feature Screenplay, I have producer who accept to read my script. Before it was hard to get to them and now it seems that all the doors are open. Just the fact to talk about the price, they are ready to listen... That's great...

Do you have contact with producers who are interested in your winning screenplay? It can help us if you had.

So have a great year 2009 and hopefully I will present you another screenplay soon, a film or even the Zakis movie finish and well done.../p>

Thanks again.

Have a great year...

pulled it off.

By doing good you do well and the both of you are taking off to the stars.

I just got back to the states with some airline problems but my memories are
wonderful.

I heard you will be sending out the name of the film to be put on the each
award? We would very much appreciate getting that at your convenience at

Quote

This flm festival is very important because it is the only high profile showcase of non-violent films in the world. Its task is difficult because it is forward reaching by trying to find films with no hate for humankind in them. Its task is made more difficult by the need to financially secure the hosting of the festival and yet remain truly independent in thought for the films it chooses. World Peace is the most important thing we can ever consider and films that are non violent will move towards this aim.
In some way the festival also allows Monaco to participate in the promoting of non-violence in films which in turn elevates the festivals international standing.

I see that Moondance winner Trudy Happ won 2 awards for her screenplay at your event! Nice! I also sent the festival director of the Salsbourg (France) film festival to Monaco. Did she arrive? How did the festival go? I'm just starting up the competition for Moondance 2009.

Cheers, Elizabeth

Dear Rosana Golden

Thank you very much for your email of 28 September, inviting Mr Boris Johnson to attend the Angel Film Awards on 4-7 December.

Regrettably, the constraints of the Mayor's diary make it impossible for him to accept your invitation on this occasion.

He has asked me to pass on his apologies and hopes that the event is a great success and is enjoyed by all.

Yours sincerely

Hello beautiful Rosana
I have thought of you and the monaco film fest often, it was soooo much
fun!
I am shooting a short film here in L.A. and am hoping to have it finished
in time for your submission deadline. It would be fabulous to be back in
Monaco this december with you and Dean at your celebration of enlightened
cinema.
Sending you & Dean love and blessings.

"What comes to mind when I think of the Angel Film Awards 
Monaco Film Festival, the Great camaraderie, boundless enthusiasm,
old world elegance and yes, Peace. We have the two founders,
Rosana Golden and Dean Bentley, to thank for their vision.  
By the end of  this whirlwind adventure we were a family. 
It was beyond my expectations and a great honor to be president
of the jury and mistress of ceremonies of this unique festival.
I will never forget  it."

Love to all,

Happy New Year Dean and Rosana!

Thank you so much for your email. The Angel Awards/ Monaco Int'l film festival. Please let me tell you what a FANTASTIC time I had attending such a lovely, inspiring event! I know it had to be a MONUMENTAL effort to co-ordinate everyone and everything, but it was a FANTASTIC experience for all of us who attended, and a fabulous opportunity to screen such amazing movies!!
I know you had professional photographers to document the occasion, and I want you to know I personally took some photos that I would be happy to share with you if you so desire--perhaps I took some photos that you might not have expected. By the by, the two of you look fabulous and you both flattered me with some images including you both and myself. (You two look best!) Please advise me as regards photos--it was a pleasure to take them!
I shall return to Europe beginning January 21, 2008 and would be delighted if I could call you and /or meet up with you should you be available.
Again, it was a total delight to meet you both and all those amazing filmmakers...we all appreciate your joint efforts to bring their films to the world. I hope to see you next year! May love and peace grace you in the year 2008!

All the best,
Suzanna Toso

Dear Rosana and Dean,

Congratulations. This film festival is a celebration of your very important idea that non-violent films can also promote peace and understanding among people without being preachy and boring. The films you have selected this year did bring both the audience and us, members of the Jury to tears.
They were touching, sensitive and entertaining at the same time.This was my first time on your Jury and I hope you'll invite me again to your elegant yet very humanistic and intellectually stimulating film festival.

Dear Rosana & Dean,

One of the best parts of the festival was finally having the chance to meet you both. The positive energy you put into the festival with all of your hard work and preparation was what powered it. I know it is our shared hopes and prayers for peace that are the energy that was felt at the festival.

I respect you both and love you dearly. I feel I now have a wonderful new brother and sister!

We really see these honors at the Angel Film Awards as the launching pad for our next efforts in sharing “Jun-Ai” with more people.

Dear Rosanna and Dean

Wonderful Festival

Many many thanks for a wonderful three days of the Angel Film Awards!  The films were all great in their different ways and all captured nuances of what the Angel Film Awards are all about.  I very much enjoyed meeting the film makers and the actors—the Japanese contingent were all so charming and decorative!  A real joy to be with them.

It is terrific to see how well your Festival is evolving—each year it gets better and better!  There is such a happy atmosphere of joy and kindness and appreciation of each other.

Many congratulations and again many thanks for the happiness you have given all of us.  The Angel Film Awards are a great way to start the season of peace!

Affectionately

To Rosana & Dean

The 2007 Angel Film Awards - International Monaco Film Festival was canvas oil painted in it’s every moment as if having a fantastic time and meeting amazing people could be rehearsed and we could simply lose our memories towards a reinactment of every given moment and gain a collective harmony. The suspension of disparate nonlinear memories happened because from the general audience, to the sponsors, the talent and the organizers, we all believed in the utopia that it is possible to turn the page from a barbaric world of today and turn it into a civil world and we all believed we were creating this microcosm of energy and intention through our power of symbiosis and in bringing the message of peace into the world and a collective capacity of applying it into reality.The moments felt they were reoccurring at times because there was so much harmony.

Films like "The Music In Me", showed how a simple dance teacher can be the alchemist to the destroyed lives of handicapped teenagers and their families to a better good, while films like "Jun Ai" and "Dalai Lama Renaissance" showed the importance of stopping wars and creating a better world through tolerance and organization.

The dynamics of the group was so richly orchestrated by Rosana Golden and Dean Bentley that it feels though pictures and collective memories-interesting enough always the same for different people-that we were being observed and conducted from the outside this year, as if a ghastly world coexisted amongst us, and the group was truly being guided by the peace angels and we, all attendants, were their role models.

We were thrown into a magnetoscope of energy this festival was all about escaping under lustuous visions of chandeliers, crystals, velvet, champagne and the blossoming of a fairy tale land, even for the residents, into a collective experience, and then its’ nostalgia and dreams of a unique reality, only in knowing deep in our hearts that this hyperreality, this suspense in an elated manner, the celluloid dreams: the films; can reach millions in the modern times and we have a volcanic power to change and speak straight to the roots of this planet.
