In her speech, Sara said: “We should be even more proud and even more outspoken about our culture. And we should be able to bring that to the rest of the world. I think cinema and art transcend language, regions and nationalities. I think that we should come together, and while we are here on a global stage representing our country, we should not forget who we are. So we can stay organic in the content we create because I think that’s really what resonates with the rest of the world.”
