The crew of the film "Vera", which had won the award for best director and female role in the Orizzonti programme at the Venice Film Festival, arrives to Split for the Croatian premiere at the 16th FMFS.

Despite the light rain, the 16th Mediterranean Film Festival Split began last night in the sold-out Bačvice Open-Air Cinema, which was declared open by Mayor Ivica Puljak. The FMFS audience once again showed what kind of punks they are - the screening was held without interruption!

The film summer gathering in Split, which is eagerly awaited every year, is ready for its sixteenth edition - the Mediterranean Film Festival Split begins this Thursday. Throughout seven different programmes, the organizers announced screenings of 78 films from 26 countries, which will be shown at the Bačvice Open-Air Cinema, Gripe Fortress , Zlatna vrata cinematheque and on the plateau of the Youth Center.

This year's FMFS offers a handful of programme for children of all ages, as well as an outing for the whole family. As part of the "We begin at 0" program, several titles of domestic production were selected, which represent an excellent basis for the further development of viewer appetites. The new titles "Musical Socks", "Journey" and "Letters from the Edge of the Forest", based on picture books, take the little ones on a magical journey of believing in themselves and their own talents, and the eternal classic "Hedgehog's Home" will be shown again.
