MFF divides films in two competition programs. Short documentaries lasting up to 30 minutes shall compete in one selection, and in the other documentaries that last more than 30 minutes.

Six-member international jury, which is composed of the last year’s winners, as well as the renowned directors from the region, will evaluate the films from both selections and decide on the best documentary films from the Mediterranean during the festival, and traditionally the audience will also decide on one award. At the one of the biggest documentary film festivals in the region, besides already mentioned competition program, the audience will have the opportunity to see the latest world documentary works, screenings of feature films and the premieres of films created by local authors. MFF proudly continues the cooperation with the movie network HBO as well as with the project of Open air cinema in the town centre.

The Festival is also going a step forward with the organisation of film workshops and will continue the cooperation with ‘Outside the Lens’, American film camp from Sad Diego and the education will already start by mid-August. Design of visual identity for this year’s festival is underway, and the organizers say that besides good film atmosphere the visitors will also have a lot of fun at the festival square and at easy-going and relaxing after parties, which MFF is known for.

General sponsor of the 17th Mediterranean Film Festival is HT Eronet.
