This year's Vukovar Film Festival is taking place until August 26 in Vukovar and four other towns, showing 80 films at ten locations, its director, Igor Rakonic, said in Zagreb on Thursday. The main programme comprises eight feature films, nine shorts and 12 documentaries in competition.
Rakonic said the festival would be opened by the Golden Bear at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival, "On Body and Soul", which he described as "an unconventional love story from the slaughterhouse." The film's director will attend the screening.
The festival will feature several concerts as well as four film workshops.
