The Mediterranean Film Festival is going to screen nine short documentaries selected by the festival selector Zdravko Mustać, in the ‘In Focus’ program.

French director Mona Rosi in the film ‘Consider I was Lonely’ brings a real and imaginary correspondence between the Far West heroine and the child she had to abandon.  We will see an audiovisual essay that advocates imagination through a travelogue of constructed and anonymous landscapes and a kind of a note about the future in the film Places ‘We’ll Breathe’ by Croatian director Davor Sanvincenti.

Spanish production dominates in this selection, and we have five documentaries from this country. ‘Las Órdenes’, directed by Elisa Celda shows the times after a period of isolation, far away from each other, a group of young people practice a kind of meditation in order to reach absolute happiness through the vibration of their bodies with the Earth. 'La Panadella' directed by Joel Jimenez, tells a story about an emblematic small road town in decline located in Catalonia, which is awaiting the arrival of visitors from a mysterious tower. In the documentary ‘The Maestrat on Film’ by Fermína Sales we are watching images and a territory, the ghosts of the past which come face to face with the present. The directors N. Ubach, D. Cano, U. Andersson, M. Codesido in the film 'The Elders' are taking us on the daily walk of three old women. But it is altered by the sudden death of one of them.

 

‘Daida Back to the Ocean’, directed by Pablo Ramírez Bolaños, tells a story about Daida Ruano Moreno, 18 times World Champion, tells her fight against her most difficult rival: a Cancer that almost took away not only her Life, but her most personal and intimate dream...

In Serbian-Italian coproduction, in the film ‘Ada, or’, directed by Tijana Mamula, we are watching  a protagonist who exhumes a family history of genocide, internment and escape in WWII Bosnia and explores the enduring echoes of that generational trauma.

There is one film from the domestic authors - ‘The Man Who Gulps Down Zeros’ directed by Mili Đukić and Goran Stojkić. The film follows part of the poet Vuk Rodić's day, early in the morning when he ritually drinks coffee with his mother, goes to buy bread and along the way visits three usual places in Sarajevo.

Films from this selection are not competing for awards.
