Quotes about the 2007 festival from the press:
Pablo Parra, Argentinean filmmaker in an interview with Deutschlandfunk on April 27. 2007
„I am impressed by the festival. I can see what films students from other countries make. I can exchange ideas, talk about projects; that seems fantastic to me. When I see here what they put together, it is really very inspiring. The students are doing good work. It would be fantastic if we could do something like this too.“

„Theater 2 in the Thalia Movie Theater was bursting at the seams on Friday evening when nearly 200 viewers followed the evening with the theme Latin America at the international student film festival and some even had to take a seat on the steps to do so. The selection of films clearly showed how diversely Latin American filmmakers mirror the social upheavals in their countries.“

“The 36th student film festival sehsüchte in Potsdam-Babelsberg is ending today and one can say: It altered one’s perceptions. It was as if one had landed in a perfume boutique where the salespeople hold dozens of perfume samples under one’s nose and one is already quite lightheaded after the third bottle and begins to reel befuddled through the aisles. Pretty much everything that is being mixed together at this time in the “perfumeries” of international film schools was there.“
