After Tuesday which was defined by films on introspection, history, politics and fights against buerocracy, Small summer stage Opatija will today welcome five new documentaries which will be screened as a part of festival competition and a rich off program.

Tonight's program starts at 8:30 PM with You’re tiny little man ant, a documentary debut by Josip Ivančić Pin. Afterwards, the audience will get the chance to see - for the first time in Croatia - The thin line, an upsetting documentary that deals with causes and effects of war rape crimes. The film will be presented by its Croatian co-producer Dijana Mlađenović, and the film's protagonist Bekira Hasenčić, president of „Woman – victim of war“ association that gathers female and male rape victims and fights for prosecution of crimes in Bosnian courts and in Haague.

Second slot, which starts at 8:30 PM, will be opened with a documentary portrait Sanja in which director Nikica Zdunić exposes the inner world of a designer. The film received a special award in regional competition of 12th ZagrebDox. For the second year in a row, Vjekoslav Gašparović will be competing for LFF awards. After the last year's With You through life, documentary dealing with the process of making of meat products, in this year's 201507STDR-L, which will have its world premiere at LFF, the author examines processes of making herbal products.

The evening will be closed with Third Best by Arsen Oremović, a film that deals with the most important secondary thing in the world – football. Through conversations with numerous participants of the football scene, this journalist and film critic questions privatization of Croatian football and examines intentions of politicians and officials of Croatian Football Association. With those of them who were opened to conversations, that is.

As a part of accompanying program, kids' film explorations will be continued in the free workshop Ways in which film deceives us held as a part of Restart's Film Beginner project under the guidance of Vanda Kreutz and Ana Hušman. Coffee with the author in Caffe bar Eugenian will also continue today, as well as Documentary afternoon in Villa Antonio, where Claustra, a documentary by Ana Golja and Helena Traub of Opatija's Žmergo association, will be screened. In cooperation with Aleš Suk of association Ukus, these local authors made a film about a former magnificent building and military-defense system from the Roman Empire that is today almost completely unknown and forgotten. After the screening, Petra Predoević Zadković of the Department of Art History, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Rijeka will hold a lecture titled „Heritage of Antiquity and Late Antiquity of Rijeka and its surrounding“.

As usual, the after party will be held at Caffe bar Eugenian.
