Croatian capital to host film festival

25 September 2008

Zagreb is getting ready to host its sixth annual film festival next month, which may interest people thinking of visiting the city in the near future.

The event is expected to showcase the debut screenings of several movies, with organisers claiming it can help directors on their way.

People attending the festival may get the opportunity to see the premiere of "blockbusters", with Borat having its first European airing in Zagreb previously.

The Golden Pram will also be on offer in the competition for best film, with The Life of Others among past winners.

Student Centre will host the festival, which takes place from October 19th to 25th.

Volunteers are being sought for the event, with organisers looking for "film enthusiasts willing to jump in when necessary".

The work is unpaid but gifts are on offer to those willing to help out, such as free tickets to all screenings and side-events, an invitation to the exclusive post-festival party and gift bags.
