The second day of 11 Mediterranean Film Festival
“China is still far”, the documentary made by the director Malek Bensmail about a small village in Algeria, which was struck with the war in 1954, opened the competition program on the second day of the Mediterranean Film Festival. After that a Spanish-Palestine film with an unusual title “To shoot an elephant” about the Gaza theritory, made by the authors Alberto Arce and Mohammad Rujailah was screened, and a bit depressive thematic of the documentaries screened in the afternoon hours was stopped by the film “Cash and marry”. Macedonian director Atanas Georgiev, who is also the main character of the film shot in Vienna, is ready to do everything to solve the problem with the papers and get Austrian citizenship. With his friend Marko, he starts the search for a woman who would marry him just for the papers, and the unusual situations they went through made the full audience laugh.
                                                      

The Israeli film “Tales of the defeated” and a nice Italian story “Me, my Gipsy family and Woody Allen” are two short films screened in the competition program, and the second day of the festival was finished with a little bit of “tough”, but great film “Loving Sophia”, made by the Israeli director Ohad Itach.

After the cinema the most enduring ones went to a party to café “Start”, where a DJ party was organized.
