Here is the four day program.

Treći
The title “Treći” is hidden story of the privatization of Croatian sport, showing the help of policy leaders with the current government and the Croatian Football Federation – essentially how politicians have brought more damage than good to Croatian sports.
*After the film there will be forums held in cooperation with the Society of Friends of Hajduk Sinj attended by, among others, author Arsen Oremović.
23.8. Tuesday:
Finding Fela (U potrazi za Felom)
“Finding Fela” is a story about life, music and the social and political role of Fela Kuti. Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney explores the controversial life, great music and undeniable cultural and political influence of the legendary creator of Afrobeat. The constant political persecution, unconventional lifestyle and his death of AIDS made him one of the most controversial artists of all time.
Independent list opportunist (Neovisna lista oportunista)
The film follows the nomination of the eponymous political options in the parliamentary elections in Croatia in 2011, made up of students from the Faculty of Political Sciences in Zagreb, whose main political goal was to parody the whole democratic election process as it exists today in Croatia.
-Movies recorded on the “Action on the eve of cloth” at S.A.R.S. festival
24.8. Wednesday:
Amy
The film includes never before seen archival footage and tells the tragic story told about Amy. Amy Winehouse died at age 27 from alcohol poisoning. It was a talent that was born once in a generation. She wrote songs and sang from the heart, leaving the audience enchanted by her magic. The tragedy was due to her problematic relationships, global success, and a non-standard way of life under the scrutiny of the media – making her completely fall apart emotionally.
Starring: Unstable Belarusian elements (U glavnim ulogama: Nestabilni bjeloruski elementi)
Belarus had the last dictatorship in Europe for over 20 years under the heavy-handed government of Alexander Lukashenko. Although he banned freedom of expression and political opposition, it was reduced to the margins, in the center of Minsk, in a secret location, defying his Belarusian Free Theatre. The film is composed of smuggled shots, and gives the audience a front row seat, showing the resistance that is taking place parallel to the stage and in the streets.
25.8. Thursday:
Toto and His Sisters
One of the most praised and most awarded European documentaries of 2014 and 2015, this is a fascinating story of a 10 year old Toto and his older sisters, Anna and Andrei. While their mother is in prison, the sisters seek to maintain a semblance of a normal and healthy childhood in a poor suburb of Bucharest full of drugs, violence and crime. Meanwhile, Toto passionately teaches dance, reading and writing with the desire to escape the gloomy everyday life that surrounds him.
So close, so far (Tako blizu, tako daleko)
