15th Fantastic Zagreb Film Festival: For All Lovers of Genre Films
The Fantastic Zagreb Film Festival is a place of gathering for all those who would like to enjoy science fiction and genre films out in the open in a pleasant summer atmosphere.
For the fifteenth time, summer in Zagreb is recognisable by the Fantastic Zagreb Film Festival. It is the largest festival of its type in the region, and this year it will take place from 26 June to 6 July. During eleven days of the festival, science fiction films, thrillers, fantasy films, action films, psychological dramas, horrors, anime and other films will be screened. The latest genre titles will be combined with classics of renowned authors.
The setting is a special treat for visitors, in addition to an outstanding programme of this open-air festival. Films will be screened at the Tuškanac Summer Stage, in the woods which is located just ten minutes away on foot from the city’s main square. The Fantastic Film Festival is the event which reopened this cult film stage after several decades of dormancy. During summer evenings it provides freshness, but also due to the fact it is located in the woods, it provides a bit of mystery suitable for the genres in question. An eventful programme and wonderful atmosphere will attract numerous movie buffs. Those who bring their dogs to the screenings get a special privilege; a person and a dog can attend one screening free of charge.
The second festival venue is the Cultural and Information Centre at the very centre of the city.
