These films form the very central part of the 20th edition in September, but our program extends in other exciting directions - it will include talks and programs as part of this year's symposium, dedicated to ecology and the self-sustainability of independent film labs and photochemical film practices, various focus programs with our jury members Eve HellerVarja Močnik and Tomislav Šoban, a number of Croatian premieres, live cinema performace by an experimental artist Jan Kulka and live ingame performance by a pseudomarxist collective Total Refusal.

We are looking forward to welcome you in September in Zagreb. Until then, may your summer days be as alluring as possible!
