Wolves and futuristic story for the second MFF day
The films from the ‘In Focus’ programme open the second day of the Mediterranean Film Festival. This is a showcase of remarkable documentaries, some of which have already achieved success at prestigious film festivals around the world, while others will have their premiere screening in Široki Brijeg.
In the official competition programme of the festival at 7 p.m. we screen ‘God’s Acre’, directed by Pablo Adiego Almudevar from Spain, and ‘National Narrative’, directed by Gregoire Beil from France.
Spanish film ‘European dream: Serbia’, directed by Jaime Alekos, and Croatian film ‘Momsy’, directed by Josip Lukić are on the schedule from 9 p.m. Tunisian documentary ‘Sufism’, directed by Younes Ben Hajria, and Israeli film ‘Family in Transition’, directed by Ofir Trainin are on the programme at 11 p.m. in the cinema Borak.
We present the futuristic documentary "2068", directed and written by Robert Bubalo, from the "Home Authors" programme in the Open air cinema in the city centre at 9 p.m.
Shall we trick the biological limitations soon and start living for a thousand years? Shall we turn our consciousness into computers and live eternally in computer programs? Which genes shall we steal from the nature in order to be taller, faster, stronger? Ten Croatian scientists, who predict what life will be in 50 years from now, are occupied with these interesting and somewhat intimidating issues. Actors Goran Bogdan and Marijana Mikulic play leading roles in futuristic fiction scenes in the first Croatian Mission to Mars.
New programme of the Mediterranean Film Festival called ‘War Traces’ presents the American film ‘Among Wolves’ directed by Shawn Convey, which is on the programme at 10 p.m. This is a story about the members of a multiethnic motorist club that are fighting aftermath of the war in BiH.
Wolves are no ordinary motorcycle club as revealed in this beautifully filmed, surprisingly intimate documentary about trauma and survival. Still struggling from the aftermath of the Bosnia-Herzegovina War, this multi-ethnic club organizes charity for their small mountain town and defends the threatened herd of wild horses they first met on the frontline.
After the film programme, on the second evening of the festival the band 'Get vintage' brings the sounds of jazz, bossa nova, latin jazz, blues, dixie and more to the festival square.
