New films from five largest European cinemas – French, Italian, German, British, and Spanish – are once again part of the side program The Great 5,<\/strong> which for many years ZFF has organized in collaboration with the network of European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC Croatia).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside the British film Aftersun<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Charlotte Wells<\/strong>, a sensual and touching film meditation on summer, childhood, parenting, and the fragmentation of memory which stars one of the biggest young British talents Paul Mescal<\/strong> (Normal People, The Lost Daughter<\/em>) and the adaptation of an Italian contemporary literary classic about friendship, The Eight Mountains<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by directors Felix van Groeningen<\/strong> and Charlotte Vandermeersch<\/strong>, the program also includes a film which Pedro Almod\u00f3var called the best recent Spanish debut. Lullaby<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Basque director Alauda Ruiz de Az\u00faa<\/strong> is an intimate family drama about a young couple and new parents, Amaia and Javi. Since Javi is often absent due to his work, Amaia takes the baby to her parents in a charming seaside town. The impulse to make the movie, filmed in Bilbao, in a region well-known for its tradition of strong matriarchs, the director found in her own experience of becoming a mother and the sensitive, fragile period after birth. Almod\u00f3var described the film as –\u00a0 \u201cThis film portrait of women in the family is precise, without sentimentality, but not without humor\u201d.<\/p>\n

The German representative takes place in the dystopian future. Director Natalia Sinelnikova<\/strong> explores mechanisms of fear and collective paranoia. The social satire We Might As Well Be Dead<\/em><\/strong><\/a>,<\/em><\/strong> taking place in an isolated building at the edge of a forest which functions as one of the last resorts of a fallen civilization and seemingly offers its inhabitants an idyllic, holistic everyday life, shows the influence of the director\u2019s role models such as Yorgos Lanthimos, David Lynch and Luis Bu\u00f1uel. A smart Orwellian film in which horror and humor deftly intertwine is the author\u2019s graduation film and it premiered at Berlinale.<\/p>\n

Directed by Mikha\u00ebl Hers<\/strong>, The Passengers of The Night<\/em><\/strong><\/a> takes us to the past in this optimistic feel good film which evokes the 1980s in Paris. A detailed and layered portrait of a Parisian family is carefully crafted proof of the power of film storytelling. Spanning over a decade, the film brings a panoramic, almost romanesque image of a family led by Elisabeth, a single mother masterfully and delicately played by Charlotte Gainsbourg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Films from The Great 5 program are screened in late afternoon hours (5 and 6 PM) in the Museum of Modern Art and Kinoteka Cinema. Presale tickets are available on kupiulaznicu.zff.hr<\/strong><\/a> until October 22 and after that online or at the festival box office.<\/p>\n","featured":false,"featured_image_top":false,"featured_image_mobile":false,"attachment":false,"images":false,"gallery":{"images":false}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33954"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2023.zff.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
