The responses highlight both the impact of the project—on skills, creativity, and interdisciplinary dialogue—and the expectations for its future development. This continuous process of evaluation ensures that SF(a) remains a responsive and evolving platform, aligned with the needs of its community and relevant for cultural and educational funding.

Looking Forward
Feedback is essential for the growth of SF(a). Participants suggested:
- more time dedicated to poster workshops and graphic design labs,
- a broader diversity of international speakers,
- stronger promotion and outreach,
- and new formats such as short-film labs, architectural memory projects, and outdoor film screenings.
We are committed to integrating these ideas into future editions, ensuring that SF(a) continues to evolve as a vibrant platform for critical reflection and creative experimentation.
