Mediterranean Film Festival Siroki Brijeg in Siroki Brijeg
A documentary film festival in Siroki Brijeg, running since 2000 and settled into its current four-day format and name in 2007. Programming focuses specifically on documentaries rather than a mixed feature lineup, drawing audiences interested in nonfiction cinema. Easily paired with a Mostar or Herzegovina wine-region day trip given the town's short distance from both.
Siroki Brijeg's documentary festival started in 2000 as a modest program called Croatian Film and Video, organized with the Croatian Film Association, and only reached its current form at its seventh edition in 2007, when organizers dropped the earlier 'Dani filma' name, extended the event to four days, added a jury and monetary prizes, and expanded from short films exclusively to documentaries of any length.
