ŠIROKI BRIJEG, August 4 (FENA) - This year's 21st Mediterranean Film Festival (MFF) will be held online from August 19th to 22nd in Široki Brijeg and 20 documentaries will compete.
"In this specific year, when the global pandemic paralyzed social life, we have decided to switch the MFF to digital platforms. This decision was not easy to make, especially because the Mediterranean Film Festival for two decades has profiled itself as a casual, colorful, friendly festival, which has aroused the interest of audiences and far beyond the borders of our country," MFF said in a statement.
The organizers point out that they are aware that in this situation they must be responsible and patient and take care of the safety of community, so they decided to show films via digital platform on the official festival website www.mff.ba.
Although this year's MFF is deprived of festival socializing and magic due to circumstances, the organizers will make sure that virtual visitors enjoy quality film content. In addition to films from the competition, we will show films from the "In Focus" program, as well as the best domestic films.
Twenty documentaries compete in the official program of this year's Festival, of which ten feature films and ten short documentaries. The festival selector Zdravko Mustać chose excellent works, some of which have already won awards at big festivals in the region and the world, while some of them will have its premiere screenings, it is said in a statement.
The six-member international jury will decide on the following awards: “Grand Prix” in the feature documentary category, sponsored by HT Eronet and the “Best Short” in the short film category, sponsored by Podravka.
