MOTOVUN FILM FESTIVAL
Start date: Jan 25, 2014, End date: Nov 25, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

This year's aims are keeping the well known concept that characterizes Motovun Film Festival and makes it known in Croatia and region, expanding the festival to another location, and starting another program aimed at younger audiences. The festival will gain another competition program, reaching out to children and young people who have not been included in our festival audience before. Thus we see 2014 as a crucial year in festival development. Three competition programs include mainly European films, with the aim of presenting their geographical and aesthetic diversity. Since MFF is primarily audience oriented, the aim is to give the viewers a quality insight into contemporary trends in European film. The aim regarding young audience is to create an interest in European film, since they have less and less opportunity to see European films for children and young people. In the side program 'Partner country: Turkey' we will screen mini-retrospectives of three contemporary Turkish directors. Motovun Maverick Award will be given to an accomplished European film director, who will be the honorary guest of the festival. As part of the accompanying program New Europe we will present documentary films about renowned European artists. Authors from the main program will participate in Q&A sessions. We will organise two educational film programs: 'Little School of Film' for children and young people, teaching film theory, followed by hands-on film-making practice. INTERNATIONAL YOUNG FILMLOVERS' DISCUSSION GROUP is open to students and young professionals who will discuss the film program, led by film critics. The film program is accompanied by music program, consisting of five concerts. All programs will take place in two neighbouring towns (Motovun and Buzet), with open air screenings and events. This year we have increased satellite events significantly, consisting of film screenings in over 10 towns, held after the festival, all year round.
