The 10th edition of the Zagreb Film Festival will begin with the screening of "The Last Elvis" directed by Armando Bo at 2000 hrs Sunday in the Europa cinema.
The festival will run through to 21 October at several venues in the capital.
The festival will present some 100 films in eight programmes and the competition programme will include 11 feature films, 10 short films and about 15 documentaries. The films be screened at the Europa, Tuskanac and Gric cinemas, the Zagreb Dance Centre and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Among the feature films will be Serbian writer-director Maja Milos's debut "Clip", which has caused controversies over its explicit scenes of sex and violence and is banned in Russia, but has received awards at the film festivals in Rotterdam and Motovun, and "Volcano", the debut by Icelandic writer-director Runar Runarsson which has won 14 awards at film festivals round the world.
The documentary programme includes Matthew Akers's "Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present" about her performance in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Marten Persiel's "This Ain't California", a story about the world of skateboarding against a backdrop of the social and political situation in Communist East Germany.
There will also be a retrospective of documentary films by Austrian writer-director Michael Glawogger, who will be the guest of the festival and president of the three-member jury for documentary films.
