Vukovar Film Festival

About

This year, we have placed the evening program at the River Barge and The Terrace of Agency for Waterways.  Documentaries and Matinees remain at Ružička’s house. This year we have a new exotic location at Vukovar’s own Danubian sand island (for side programs “Planet Partner” and “Europe open up!”). "Europe open up" is a newly created side section where we will screen film titles of rarely represented European cinema.  Re-runs will go to Cinema “Borovo naselje” and “CineStars” across the country.  We offer two film workshops, competition for a short "Croatian War Veteran" story (screenplay) as well as a legal copyright debate.

 Our entertainment program was never stronger, so we do expect long nights in Vukovar!
