    PULA: The feminist drama Tereza37 directed by Danilo Šerbedžija was the big winner at the 2020 Pula Film Festival, bringing a total of six Golden Arenas to its creators.

    Six weeks after the sudden delay, Pula Film Festival was held in a reduced format in early September, with only 1,500 seats instead of the usual 5000 seat capacity in the old roman Arena in the city centre. Held without the international programme or even international guests, the festival managed to hold all planned screenings and the awards were given to the best Croatian films and minority coproductions. 

    The festival, which usually takes place in July, was rescheduled for 29 August - 4 September due to the COVID crisis.
