Accreditation

My involvement in the entertainment industry is incomparable. I have been in the Entertainment industry since 1989 as a multi Instrumentalist, Recording Engineer, Music/Film Producer.
It is suprising that the european community doesn't like to give us accreditation to attend their film festival apart from International Berlin film festival. But this time we are ready to attend your film festival if chance is given to us. Kindly let us know how to be accredited so as sto have the chance of attending your film festival. Thanking you in anticipation.
