The eighteen films from all over the world selected for the Main Programme will screen at both locations, while the 25 titles from Cinehill Shorts, selected from among a record 1,100 applications, will screen only in Motovun.
The festival will also present Lost & Found (a retrospective of films that the festival had wished to screen in 25 years but for various reasons wasn’t able to), Special Screenings, Music Films and a Music Programme.
The 8th edition of the Campus Motovun has prepared a dynamic educational programme for film professionals, semi-professionals and students from 26 to 29 July 2023.
