Second festival day: Competition, ‘Focus’ and films in Open cinema
On the second day of the 22nd Mediterranean Film Festival, the program starts with the documentaries from the ‘In Focus’ program already at 5 pm in the Borak cinema.

The competition program starts at 7 pm with Spanish film ‘Beeeeeeeeeeee’e’, directed by Irena Sanfiel Arriaga and 'A Way Home' directed by Karima Saidi. Spanish films ‘Heurtebise’, directed by Elisa Torres and Octavio Guerra, and ‘Sand Women’ directed by Augustin Dominguez are on the program at 9 pm.

After these there are screenings of films ‘Ombra della luce’ directed by Dragana Sapanjoš from Croatia and Greek film ‘Express Scopelitis’ by Emilia Milou., also films from the competition.

At the Open Air Cinema at 9 pm, we are screening a feature film directed by Branko Schmidt, about rebellious Croatian veterans - ‘Once We Were Good for You’.Schmidt's drama is based on Josip Mlakić’s story, inspired by the events in front of the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs in Savska Street in Zagreb, when the so-called tent guys - just like in the movie - took gas bottles to the streets at the height of the confrontation with the then government. 

Leading parts in the film are Rene Bitorajac, Nela Kocsis, Slaven Knezović, Rakan Rushaidat....

The second evening will be marked by the screening of the first documentary film about the legendary ‘Indexi’, directed by Zoran Kubura and Bojan Hadžiabdić.This awarded documentary brings the story about the Tailcoated Rockers who, in their four decades of existence, wandered from the avant-garde to festival schlagers and back, remaining one of the most authentic phenomena of the Yugoslavian music scene and a trademark of their city.  

‘Sarajevo has spawned bands that sold more records and became more popular than Indexi, but, for Sarajevo’s people, none were greater than them’, the authors said.

In addition to this film treat at the end of the Open Air Cinema program, fans of film and good entertainment will be able to enjoy socializing and good music in the festival square.

We remind you that the 22nd Mediterranean Film Festival, whose general sponsor is HT Eronet, is taking place from 25 to 28 August in Široki Brijeg.Admission to all the screenings is free.
