Closer Croatia 2007 - Croatian Film Festival

After a very successful Croatian Film Festival in 2004 - the first such a festival in the UK for almost 40 years - there is another one in October. As young Croats of London paved the way and got the winning formula, it's essential to repeat the experiment - this time with more support and more partners.

The Festival, also entitled Closer Croatia, will again take place in the Riverside Studios, Thursday 11th - Sunday 14th October 2007. The programme is made of contemporary eight feature films and ten short films. We hope you will join us!

When:	Thursday 11th - Sunday 14th October 2007
Where:	Riverside Studios, Crisp Road, London W6 9RL

I am delighted that the Riverside Studios is once again hosting a selection of the very best of Croatian cinema. This time, the selection differs from 2004, concentrating exclusively on contemporary feature films, documentaries, animation and art house films.

Croatian cinema is enjoying a revival and is actively supported by the Ministry of Culture as the main national institution providing funding with the result that for the second year running, Croatia has been represented at the Cannes Film Festival. The consistent quality of recent Croatian films is becoming recognised both locally and internationally.

Finally, I would like to thank all the organizers and sponsors who have made possible for London film enthusiasts to enjoy this important aspect of Croatian culture and to become ever closer to Croatia itself.
