Lebanese 'The Insult' , an Oscar nominee for 'Best Foreign Film', is having its Croatian premiere tonight (21:30) at open air cinema Bacvice as a part of 11th Mediterranean Film Festival Split.
Filmed by famous director Ziad Doueiri, it was politically censored and put on hold for two years. The plot concentrates on the dispute between a Lebanese and Palestinian that ends up on court, provoking gradually the public and media attention, creating at the end a question of national importance.
'The Insult' had its premiere screening at Venice and before an Oscar nomination it won a number of awards all over the world.
Starting at 19h, programme 'Jeske' is screening a premiere of a documentary film 'That's The Way It Is' by Arsen Oremović at Cinematheque Zlatna Vrata. The plot focuses on discrimination towards single fathers. The next one is 'Days of Madness' by Damian Nenadić that introduces us to the hidden and to most people obnoxious world of psychologically different people that are rejected by society and labelled as patients.
Today's second 'Jeska', 'Safe flight' by Aldo Tardozzi, will be screened at open air cinema Bacvice. It is a story about a family that plans to visit Australia and out of superstition wants to travel in different airplanes. However, they encounter difficulties while trying to achieve an agreement, which leads to expressing surpressed resentment towards each other.
