On Friday, November 15th, Martin Turk’s feature film DON’T FORGET TO BREATHE will have its Croatian premiere at Zagreb Film Festival. Among others, the film was co-produced by Croatian Studio Dim and received financial support from Croatian Audio-Visual Centre and HRT. The making of the film was a collaboration with a talented Croatian team, such as Turk’s regular associate, director of photography Radislav Jovanov Gonzo. Several Slovenian team-members will also be present at the Zagreb premiere, such as the director Martin Turk, producer Ida Weiss, co-screenwriter Gorazd Trušnovec and the actors Matija Valant (Klemen), Tine Ugrin (Peter), Ronja Matijevec Jerman (Jana) in Jakob Cilenšek (Gregor). The film will show in a PLUS section, a competition program of recent fiction films curated by high schoolers.
The film will then continue its festival journey to the 19th Brussels Mediterranean Film Festival – Cinémamed, which starts on November 29th. The festival will offer more than 60 recent cinematic productions hailing from the Mediterranean Basin, highlighting the diversity of the countries located there.
