Woman’s Tie

15th Days of Croatian Film, Zagreb, April 25-29, 2006

Days of Croatian Film have offered a series of very good films this year. Although in the competition program number of Croatian established authors presented their work, new names won recognition for the quality. Women authors especially distinguished themselves. The selection was somewhat better than the last year’s, first of all because of the excellent intimate drama Nije da znam nego je to tako by Tanja Golić.

The winner of the Jury Award Što sa sobom preko dana, by Ivona Juka and Nemam ti šta reć’ ljepo, by Goran Dević especially distinguished themselves in the unnecessarily overcrowded documentary films’ selection. The animated selection was excellent in quality, first of all the films by Simon Bogojević Narath (Levijatan), Ana Hušman (Plac), Davor Međurečan and Marko Meštrović (Silencium), David Peroša Bonnot (Soldier). The selection of the experimental film was not so good this year; the most interesting film was Autoportret by Ivan Faktor.
