Celebrate the wonderful years of Motovun with us and let\u2019s head out to conquer new heights together. Trying to figure out the festival\u2019s new concept and wondering how all this will work? Festival Director Igor Mirkovi\u0107 offers tips and useful information for navigating this summer\u2019s cinematic adventure. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This summer, we\u2019re preparing a festival the way we have never done before, and probably never will again. We are moving from the hill to the mountain. In Motovun, it\u2019s time to put twenty-five candles on our birthday cake, so join us in celebrating a quarter of a century of cinematic encounters and sleepless nights. In Gorski Kotar, we offer a refreshing getaway, a chance for new love, and a new adventure \u2013 a film event set in a magical mountain landscape, a top-notch film and music program combined with a hiking excursion. All this, as well as workshops, mountain walks, yoga, and many more events.<\/p>\n\n

First and foremost: the<\/strong> programs in Motovun and Gorski Kotar are not the same<\/strong>, each location offers its own set of attractions and a different experience.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

WHEN AND WHERE?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Come to Motovun<\/strong> the day before the festival to get ready for the screenings on the following day (there is a festival bus<\/u><\/strong> running from Zagreb). Not to let \u2018day zero\u2019 pass without entertainment, we are preparing a fitting warm-up screening and DJ program to meet and get to know each other. This is followed by three days of films and everything else that makes up a film festival \u2013 with the grand finale happening on 24 July which will go on until the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n\n

In Gorski Kotar<\/strong> you need to reach the town of Delnice. The warm-up starts on 26 July around noon. We have until sunrise the next day to get to know the new location, find our bearings, dance to some great music and most importantly \u2013 meet great people. The opening screening is scheduled for the same day, 26 July, at 9 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF BETWEEN TWO HILLS?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Between the two hills, there will be a gap day, on 25 July<\/strong>. On that day, the festival buses will be taking passengers from Motovun to Delnice.<\/p>\n\n

During the gap day, there is no film program scheduled at Petehovac itself, but the Radni\u010dki Dom cinema in Delnice will offer warm-up screenings for the impatient and thirsty for film entertainment. You can also use the day for mountain walks and hiking around the beautiful Gorski Kotar. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

LITTLE & BIG HILL \u2013 DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Motovun is a festival one attends in flip-flops, whereas in Gorski Kotar you\u2019ll probably need a pair of hiking boots. <\/p>\n\n

We know Motovun well. We screen films at three open-air cinemas and one indoor hall \u2013 from noon till well into the night, followed by a party until the morning. We truly invite everyone who has been with us all these years to celebrate the end of a chapter \u2013 because the festival will never be the same again. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Gorski Kotar is an entirely different experience: a mountain resort where we will set up a tented cinema and an outdoor cinema, with a stage for concerts. The main difference is that the festival at our new location is largely a daytime experience<\/strong>. There\u2019s no need to wait for the night to fall to watch excellent films and attend interesting events. Instead, you can seize the day in the mountain sunshine!<\/p>\n\n

However, since we won\u2019t go to bed early here either and the programs continue until late at night, bring warmer clothes<\/u><\/strong>. The mountain is no place for the faint of heart so you should be prepared for cooler nights, especially if you have campsite accommodation.<\/p>\n\n

As for the similarities? Both places are spectacular. Both boast unforgettable views. Both are even prettier than the other. This continues our mission of offering excellent film programs at exceptional locations, lending films an extra layer of emotion and providing an unforgettable experience of the local environment. \n<\/p>\n\n
