Sunday at 22nd ZFF
10. November
Even though after last night’s winners announcement and awards ceremony, the 22nd Zagreb Film Festival is officially closed, the audience can still relish the selected titles from several festival programs on Sunday, at Cinestar Branimir and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MSU) in Novi Zagreb.
The program begins at 16:00 at Cinestar Branimir, with the big Serbian box office hit – Marko Đorđević’s That’s It for Today. The language spoken in the film is Serbian, subtitled in English as well as Arabic. Next at Cinestar Branimir is Pedro Almodovar’s latest film, the Venice Golden Lion-winning The Room Next Door (18:30), which was also the film that closed the 22nd ZFF.
The evening repertoire at Cinestar’s Hall 7 ends with gangster melodrama Emilia Pérez, French director Jacques Audiard’s lavish pop opera (21:00). At 18:00, Cinestar’s Hall 1, is showing a truly unique animated film from the KinoKino program – Living Large. This sweet and funny coming-of-age animated feature tackles childhood obesity in a gentle and layered way, screening in English, with Arabic and Croatian subtitles.
Stay at the cinema a little longer or if you’ve been about the town during the day, head over to Cinestar at 20:00 for Bruno Anković’s exceptional feature debut – Celebration. Told through three key moments in the life of an Ustasha soldier, Mijo, it investigates the circumstances that have led to the acquiescence of the so-called Independent State of Croatia regime e in World War II in the poorest regions of Croatia.
Across the Sava River, at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MSU), the program begins at 18:00 with the Good One from the PLUS program. Premiered at Sundance, India Donaldson’s film is a humorous, down-to-earth, and deeply compassionate portrait of girlhood and the turning point in any parent-child relationship. A big hit across Asian and Zagreb cinemas, Thai feature How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies is on schedule at 20:00 at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
