    ZAGREB: Propeler Film is in production with volume 3 of the successful portmanteau film Zagreb Stories focusing this time on a holiday theme.

    The film segments are directed by Vlatka Vorkapic, Petar Orešković, Matija Vukšić, Ivan Salaj, Radislav Jovanov Gonzo and Danilo Šerbedžija. 

    “In each of the six short films the events are taking place on different national holidays in Zagreb during the course of one year, starting from Labor Day,” Lana Ujdur, line producer from Propeler Film, told FNE.  

    The films that make up Zagreb Stories, vol.3/Zagrebačke priče vol. 3 are: Za tebe by Danilo Šerbedžija (shot in May 2014), Praznik rada u Susedgradu’ by Ivan Salaj (shot in April and May 2014), Praznik demokracije by Petar Orešković (shot in May 2014), Goranova ulica by Matija Vukšić (shot in August 2014), Tako-nekako by Radislav Jovanov Gonzo (currently shooting from 9 to 12 September 2014), and Na tri kralja by Vlatka Vorkapić (set for shooting in December 2014). The short films still have working titles.

    The project is produced by Boris T. Matic through Propeler Film in coproduction with Croatia’s Alka Film, Slovenia’s Restart and the Zagreb Film Festival. The project is supported by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre and the City of Zagreb. The budget is 200,000 EUR, representatives from Propeler Film told FNE.

    The premiere will take place at the Pula Film Festival in 2015. Two of the nine short films in the first part of Zagreb Stories (2009), directed by Goran Odvorčić and Zvonimir Jurić, were selected in the official competitions of Cannes and Berlin. Zagreb Stories, vol.2 was released in 2012 with six short films about love and family in contemporary Croatia. The projects comprising volume 3 were chosen after a public call organised by Propeler Film in 2013.
