Since 1953 till today, the amphitheatre in Pula turns each summer into and attractive film stage under the open sky. 55th Pula Film Festival opened this year on 19 July under the motto “Film under my skin”, and will last till 26 July. There used to be the times when cinema in the former state was alive, admired and productive, and the festival echoed outside the state boundaries. Finally in the 90ties its importance returned to local framework. In the last several years the situation improved significantly, and the Arena had the privilege to watch the premiers of films which proved as top quality creations and won many awards at international festivals. Now, the time has come when everybody who has “film under their skin” is expecting it with good reason. The programme at this year’s Pula:
