1. Vukovar film festival
Discovery film and City of Vukovar proudly present the very first VUKOVAR FILM FESTIVAL – Festival of Danube River Countries! VFF will be held from 5th till 8th of July, 2007.
Festival is sponsored by T-Com Kulturist, and supported by HRT, Jutarnji list,
Radio 101 and t- portal.
INTENTION of this film festival is to give Vukovar new, both domestic and international dimension
of cultural life and renewal of the city. Young Vukovar’s generation has never been to movie theatre
and doesn’t know the feeling and energy which collective screenings provide. We would like to bring
that feeling back to Vukovar….
FESTIVAL MAINTENANCE location was determined by the fact that both Vukovar’s cinemas were totally devastated in Croatian war for Independence. This fact brought us to idea to readjust river barge which is utilized for transport of the goods, to become an open Cinema on Danube river. As far as we know, there are no similar festivals or cinemas worldwide which function this way. This kind of movie projection will surely become an inviting atraction for visitors from all over the area.
Main program base will consist of films from currently most interesting and active cinematography of ten Danube River basin countries. This however guarantees a perspective festival future, because of wide interest from all Danube River basin region. Titles are: White palms (Hungary), Knallhart (Germany), I served the king of England (Cezch Republic and Slovakia), and 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days (Romania), 2007 Cannes Golden Palm Winner.
Second part of the program consists of new attractive films - sensations for the audience, made by the famous world directors. Right after Cannes, exclusively, our audience will be able to see new movies such as Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, 2007 Berlin Film Festival Winner, Tuya’s Marriage, by Wang Quan’an and Planet Terror by Robert Rodriguez.
See you in Vukovar….
