On the first festival evening another three documentaries were screened: Croatian films “The son incidentally” and “Welcome to Igrane” and Spanish “The tailor”. Over the filled movie theatre “Borak”, where all the screenings took place, various emotions filled the air – tears and laughter.

Opening ceremony was short, the director Tomislav Topić pointed out that here people can see the films which are generally not distributed and are not very likely to be seen at other places except festivals. He also added that the team is already in thoughts on the tenth edition of the festival next year, but that this hasn’t reduced the quality of preparations for this year’s festival.

The mayor of Široki Brijeg Miro Kraljević expressed the pleasure of Mediterranean Film Festival taking significant place at the film map, and also how this event gives evidence about expansion of cultural and subcultural events in this Mediterranean town. 

At the first festival evening Oscar Perez (“The tailor” / Spain), and Robert Zuber (“The son incidentally” / Croatia) presented their films. The films “Under construction” (France) and “Welcome to Igrane” (Croatia) were also screened.

After-party was held at Hotel “Park” in the town centre. Besides Herzegovinian and Dalmatian delicacies, for good party Croatian ethno-punk band took care of.
