INDEXHas anyone been to FEST - Training Ground in Portugal before, or similar?

I've been debating going to FEST - Training Ground in Portugal (http://site.fest.pt), a workshop/masterclass week with some great guest speakers. It's a good excuse for me to have a holiday, but also have 1-on-1's with industry professionals, attend filmmaking lectures etc.
I was wondering if anyone had been to their previous years, or anything similar?

I've been on their email list, but haven't been to any Fest events. They look pretty good.
I've been to Sagasnet in Munich (which was more aimed at game design), and a script writing retreat in Ireland, as well as a couple of things in London. All of those were great fun, and I met great people (to those people: if I lost touch with you and you're reading this, feel free to drop me a line about anything.)
In the old days, I could get these trips fully funded, so perhaps the reason I haven't been to Fest is because once you're used to getting something for free, it becomes difficult to pay for. Also, it used to look more expensive than it does now.
Anyway, thanks for reminding me about it.

I've never been either but as I wanted to go to Portugal for another reason, I've registered for the Training Ground sessions and expect to be at the Fest for the duration. I'm honestly not sure if I'll get much out of it but that's why I'm going NVNG...
