MOTOVUN SHORTS

Motovun Film Festival is one of the most popular cultural events in Croatia and the best known film festivals of Southeastern Europe, devoted to international independent films.

The aim of the festival is to reflect diversity: esthetical, thematical and geographical. Its short program celebrates films standing out with their stories, warmth and innovation. MFF holds more than 30 open air screenings in Motovun, Buzet, Split and Rijeka.

Motovun Shorts program presents 25 films up to 20 minutes in length.
The festival takes place in spectaculare settings, within the walls of the small medieval town of Motovun, nestled on a hilltop close to the Adriatic coast. The festival events take place in the town streets and squares.
The festival is known by its informal and relaxed atmosphere, without red carpets, enabling direct contact between film makers and audience.

From the previous 2019. edition, we proudly present that the festival’s short film programme has joined the EFA partner festivals network. In other words, festival winner becomes a candidate for the European Film Awards in short film category and in our first take our winner became one of the 5 nominations.
