The festival program started at 5 p.m. at Borak cinema theatre, with screenings of films „L'Mina“ directed by Randa Maroufi, and “The Shepherd's Keeper”, directed by Hadara Oren. Starting at 7 p.m., the audience had the opportunity to watch the short documentary “Goats!” by Croatian director Toni Gaćina, followed by the touching feature documentary “Welded Together” directed by Anastasiya Miroshnichenko. 

Later in the evening, Croatian director Lidija Špegar’s film “Underground Top of the Charts” also captured the audience’s attention. The final screenings of the night featured the Spanish film “Wayak” by Juan Rom and the Italian documentary “Eight of Wands” directed by Cesare Bedogné. 

An art workshop in the gallery Vrba, mentored by the artist Anita Kontrec started within the MFF’s OFF program in cooperation with the Office for European Integration of the Government of West Herzegovina Canton. 

"I am very happy to be part of these events. There is talent in each of us that needs to be awakened, and that is my task. The motif is a sunset that gives everyone a sense of comfort, it is a universal motif that everyone can relate to," said Kontrec, adding that the emphasis of these workshops is on socializing and the process, and not so much on the result itself. 

The workshop “Wine and Paint” was held in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere, and the following day there will be a workshop for children too, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the same gallery.  

The festival is organising a Forum on Tourism, in collaboration with the Office for European Integration of the Government of West Herzegovina Canton, on Thursday, October 9, in the premises of the Public Library in Široki Brijeg. The forum starts at 5 p.m. with a panel-discussion “Culture as an inspiration for tourism”, with participation of experts from the field of culture and tourism.

The last festival day brings morning screenings as a part of the MFF Fora program, featuring the animated film "Bumblebee's Summer", directed by Daniel Kušan, and short works created at the "Zelenkapica" children's camp and the "Zabavator" workshop.  Saturday, October 11th, brings a double screening at 5 p.m. - the documentary “TOVA - Greatest Hand, Worst Elbow“, directed by Damir Jelić, dedicated to world table tennis champion Antun Tova Stipančić, and the film “Time of Suffering”, directed by Jozo Patljak, which speaks about tragic events in Bosanska Posavina during the Second World.
