FROOOM! FILM FESTIVAL SPLIT 2018.

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

Frooom girls and boys from Split, Rijeka, Prelog, Zagreb, Sinj, and Koprivnica have prepared a warm film brunch for you.

This third Frooom film review in Split continues the successful series of Frooom films that have traveled to children’s film festivals in India, Brazil, Austria, Spain, Greece, Macedonia, and Croatia. Some of them, like the famous Rijeka documentary “A Day in the Life of Janko Polić Kamov” or the thriller “On the Other Side of the Play,” have won valuable awards (Sisak, 2017; Pyrgos/Greece, 2016; YOUKI/Wels/Austria, 2016; New Delhi, 2016) and received prestigious recognition.
