The Festival progra also presented great documentaries from the 'In Focus' program in the Birak cinema. Film fans enjoyed the screenings in the open where they had the opportunity to watch the feature film ‘Once We Were Good for You’, about rebellious Croatian veterans, directed by Branko Schmidt.

Schmidt's drama is based on Josip Mlakić’s story, inspired by the events in front of the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs in Savska Street in Zagreb, when the so-called tent guys - just like in the movie - took gas bottles to the streets at the height of the confrontation with the then government. Leading parts in the film are played by Rene Bitorajac, Nela Kocsis, Slaven Knezović, Rakan Rushaidat....

The second evening was marked by the screening of the first documentary film about the legendary ‘Indexi’, directed by Zoran Kubura and Bojan Hadžiabdić.

This awarded documentary brings the story about the Tailcoated Rockers who, in their four decades of existence, wandered from the avant-garde to festival schlagers and back, remaining one of the most authentic phenomena of the Yugoslavian music scene and a trademark of their city.  

‘Sarajevo has spawned bands that sold more records and became more popular than Indexi, but, for Sarajevo’s people, none were greater than them’, the authors said.

After this musical treat on the screen, the festival visitors enjoyed socializing and good music in the festival square.

We remind you that the 22nd Mediterranean Film Festival, whose general sponsor is HT Eronet, is taking place from 25 to 28 August in Široki Brijeg.

Admission to all the screenings is free.
