HBO brings The Wind and Disney stories for kids
The long-awaited Disney stories 'The Lion King' and 'Toy Story 4' will be screened in the youngest program of the Mediterranean Film Festival - MFF Fora, while the documentary 'The Wind' will be screened as part of the OFF program in partnership with the HBO Adria network.

Feature version of the 1994 classic ‘The Lion King’ directed by Jon Favreau takes us back to the African savanna where the newborn baby lion Simba comes to the world. Simba idolises his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.



Disney and director Josh Cooley bring the incredible 'Toy Story 4' about toys and their exciting animated world and an adventure with plenty of friendship and humor. Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. When Bonnie's favorite toy Forky declares to be garbage, Woody takes things into his own hands and shows Forky why he should accept who he really is.
As part of the OFF Program, in partnership with the HBO Adria, the documentary film 'The Wind' will be screened at the Mediterranean Film Festival Open Air cinema on Friday 23 August.

The film follows the most unpredictable natural phenomenon in the Polish mountains – the Halny wind blows several times a year in spring and in autumn, in cycles. It is unpredictable, so you never know if—and when—it will metamorphose into a destructive storm, transforming the picturesque mountain chains into a décor dominated by the savage performance of nature. Coming from the highest of the Carpathian Mountains, it moreover seems to trigger, in addition to the dread it provokes among the population, heart attacks, acts of madness and violence, or other strange effects on the women or men most sensitive to its appearance. Built much like a thriller, the film develops an impressive symphonic account, examining nature and the inhabitants to chart a mysterious phenomenon. A genuine cinematographical tour de force, it is particularly successful—notably thanks to its rigorous editing—in capturing the tension of a place by adopting the form of an astonishing documentary thriller.

The screening of the film 'The Lion King' will be in the Borak Cinema on Friday, August 23 at 10 a.m., while the film 'Toy Story 4' will be screened on Saturday, August 24 at 10 a.m.
