"Among the news is that the international programme is becoming competitive, and it is aimed at encouraging the distribution of European and independent films on the Croatian market. We are also introducing a project development workshop and pitching for television series", said Danijel Pek, director of the festival.
As of this year, the Pula Film Festival will be one day shorter.
