25.02.2014.

The film “Mitch – The Diary of a Schizophrenic” by Damir Čučić has been withdrawn from the 10th ZagrebDox listing. The festival management express their regret that the distinguished Croatian filmmakers – Damir Čučić and Siniša Juričić – were denied a chance to present their film.

On Monday, 24 February, in the evening, we received a letter from producer Siniša Juričić, notifying us that under the threat of a lawsuit he is forced to withdraw the film Mitch – The Diary of a Schizophrenic directed by Damir Čučić.

From the very beginning, ZagrebDox has been strongly focused on the wish to initiate dialogues, be a platform for the screening of diverse documentaries, confronting ideas, aesthetics and ideologies, a place of encounter for filmmakers, protagonists, audience and critics. Therefore, without entering the (legal) nature, the festival management express their regret that these acclaimed and multiple award-winning filmmakers – Damir Čučić and Siniša Juričić – were denied this chance.
