''We'll find out why only a few live 110 years, what are the three directions that lead to the extension of life and whether we can transfer our consciousness to computers'', the director of the film ‘2068’ and the producer of the Mediterranean Film Festival Robert Bubalo said announcing the film about this interesting and somewhat intimidating issues that ten Croatian scientist deal with and predict the life in 50 years from now.

He said that the film, made in production of Večernji list and screened on the second festival day within the ‘Home authors’ programme, is a classic television documentary whose fiction  scenes are played by Marijana Mikulić and Goran Bogdan from Široki Brijeg.

The actress Mikulić, who plays Marta the first Croatian woman that travels to Mars, said that this was a very interesting experience for her.

“We worked in the military aircraft simulator. We didn’t shoot for long time, but we had a lot of fun”, Mikulić said, who is also a part of the jury at this year’s festival.  

Talking about the role in the first Croatian mission to Mars, in which the space ship Crospace with the crew of six members travels to the Red planet in 2068, Bogdan earlier said that he gladly accepted this project.

“I liked the topic of how eminent Croatian scientists see our future. It is good to question this from the present point of view. However, the point is not about what the future will be like, but, thinking about it how to act in the present more intensively. What the future will be like, I don’t know, but I do know that in these parts we still live in the past and we still pull the chains that are still ringing from various political burdens on our shoulders. This is a big problem. But making films like this and thinking about it, we today work for tomorrow, '' Bogdan said earlier.
