FROOOM! FILM FESTIVAL IN RIJEKA 2018

Almost 600 participants of the Frooom! film school in 2017 created over 55 short fiction, experimental, animated, thematic, historical, documentary, adventurous, fantasy, and other films that will dazzle your eyes this beautiful cold Saturday in the large hall of Art Cinema.

Frooom girls and boys from Rijeka, Prelog, Zagreb, Sinj, Split, and Koprivnica have prepared a warm film brunch for you.
The second Frooom film festival in Rijeka continues the successful series of Frooom films that have previously traveled to children’s film festivals in India, Brazil, Austria, Spain, and Croatia. Some of them, like the famous Rijeka documentary “A Day in the Life of Janko Polić Kamov,” have also won valuable awards (Sisak, 2017).
