The festival was honored this year by the presence of Her Majesty the Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, as it highlighted the collaboration between Denmark and Croatia through 15 Danish films and a panel of discussions Danes Go South. The festival had 12 programmes in its six usual venues, including a new programme of films by directors previously selected by the festival.
