“Croatian filmmakers will have the opportunity to present their latest films, as well as those in the making, to numerous important international sales agents, journalists, festival representatives, producers and other film professionals. The atmosphere in our team is extremely dynamic and exciting, especially because the festival, after two years, is held in conditions not imposed by epidemiological measures”, the festival director Tanja Miličić said while presenting the Croatian competition programme in Zagreb.
The artistic director Pavo Marinković emphasised that the year will be marked by debut films of respectable artists for whom feature film directing is not their primary profession, such as the famous actor Nina Violić and film critic Arsen Oremović.
The war drama The Sixth Bus, directed by Eduard Galić and produced by MissArt, will open the festival.
