By FNE Staff

    {mosimage}LJUBLJANA: The coming of age drama and first feature of Nejc Gazvoda, which has had over 12,000 admissions in Slovenia since its premiere in January 2012, will be released in Croatian cinemas on 10 May.


    The film will be distributed by Continental Film (www.continentalfilm.si), which distributed it in Slovenia. The Trip/Izlet is the most successful Slovenian film of 2012 so far. "We are very happy with the results in Slovenian cinemas, where it's extremely difficult for a drama genre film to make over 10,000 admissions, as we had expected," producer Aleš Pavlin told FNE.

    Pavlin is counting on over 15,000 admissions in Slovenia by the end of 2012. Another Slovenian film, the comedy Kruha in iger/Bread and Circuses, is in second place in the local charts. with some 8,000 admissions so far this year. The Trip/Izlet was also a festival hit, awarded in Sarajevo (www.sff.ba), Montpellier (www.cinemed.tm.fr), Warsaw (www.wff.pl) and Triest (www.triestefilmfestival.it). It was produced by Andrej Štritof and Pavlin through their company Perfo d.o.o. (http://perfo.si).
