ZagrebDoXXL

Wishing to provide its audience more than just watching film and traditional Q&A’s with authors, this year’s ZagrebDox introduces a participative documentary platform ZagrebDoXXL to explore different themes and authors more comprehensively. The newly established platform will acquaint us with the work of two filmmakers: the acclaimed contemporary documentarian Kim Longinotto and the successful Croatian filmmaker Vinko Brešan. ZagrebDoXXL is also raising two important and burning socio-political question to launch communication via film screenings and organised discussions with relevant interlocutors.
