The large interest of authors indicates that Croatian film has been growing year after year, and that the audience of the Pula Film Festival rightly expects great films in both Croatian and international production.

The active role and great responsibility of the organiser in receiving valid submission forms and checking the validity of submissions is just part of this year’s successful call for entries, which saw an excellent response and an increase in the number of submissions as compared to last year. What follows now is the screening and selection of films by the artistic director.

We look forward to the 64th Pula Film Festival once again confirming the quality of Croatian cinematography at its best.
