Furthermore, all the guests are constantly prepared to share their experience or have an informal discussion over a drink, either with their colleagues or visitors.

Would you like to spend a very different and picturesque weekend? It’s easy: thumbs up and hitch-hike to the coast!

At last Slovenija got it! A film festival that was yearned for for a long time and desired by many that have been spending their summers relaxing on warm Motovun stones or slurping beer in front of Sarajevo Obala Meeting Point. A film festival that takes grows on you (and not just due to its exquisite programme) - and you want to take a hold of it as well.

The first edition of the Isola Cinema festival was so excellent it’s going be a real shame if it doesn’t hold and spice up the film happening in this country some more.
