The cooperation between FMFS and ZFF has become not only a tradition, but also an excellent example of year-long audience development. Our festivals have become a launchpad for high-quality films that, distributed by ZFF and FMFS, travel to independent cinemas across Croatia achieving excellent results. This year, FMFS presents the Hungarian film Gentle. Hungary is not on the Mediterranean, however, FMFS’ new side program Parangal focuses on small films from cinemas outside the Mediterranean basin. Let’s enjoy the movies, and I wish my beloved ZFF a happy 20^th birthday!
