With the world premiere of film Heritage by Sanja Šamanović, 14th festival of Croatian Documentary Film Liburnia Film festival will be opened today on the Summer Stage Opatija. 32 films will be part of the program, 22 of which will be competing for seven festival awards that will be awarded on the last festival day, on Friday, 26 August, at 10 PM. Apart from a number of fresh Croatian titles, LFF will give you the chance to see five world premieres and two films that will be screened for the first time in Croatia.

After Heritage, the audience will get the chance to see Croatian premiere of Free by Tomislav Žajo, a feature documentary that deals with the process of deinstitutionalization of persons with intellectual difficulties and their „return“ to the society after a number of years spent in institutions.
