At the Seville European Film Festival, Dalibor Barić’s animated feature Accidental Luxuriance of the Translucent Watery Rebus will appear in the programme section called Permanent Revolutions. These days the film is also screening at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival (5th – 15th Nov), and has already toured festivals in France, Croatia, Peru and Colombia. The screening at Seville EFF will be its Spanish premiere.
The audience in Spain will also get a chance to see director Andrea Štaka’s Mare, a Swiss-Croatian co-production (with Croatian producer Tena Gojić of Dinaridi Film). Mare is also screening at Thessaloniki International Film Festival, while the film recently won the Special Jury Prize at the 13th CinEast – Central and Eastern European Film Festival.
