In partnership with the Split Student Centre and the Student Union of the University of Split, FMFS continues to regularly organise screenings of festival films for students throughout the winter.

On the last day of February at 8 pm, the programme brings the Bulgarian black comedy Fear, directed by Ivaylo Hristov.

Defiant and stubborn widow Svetla, a former teacher, lives in a small Bulgarian village near the Turkish border. One day, while hunting in the forest, she encounters Bamba, a lost African immigrant trying to reach Germany, and reluctantly offers him a place to stay for the night. Bamba remains in Svetla’s home longer than expected, and a bond slowly begins to form between them. This unusual duo sparks unrest in the traditional rural community as, through a series of absurd, comic and tragic situations, they attempt to break down barriers of intolerance, fear and loneliness. The film won the Best Film Award at the Tallinn Film Festival.

On 14 March at 8 pm, the programme continues with a true cinematic highlight – the Oscar-nominated Polish hit Corpus Christi, directed by Jan Komasa.

Twenty-year-old Daniel experiences a spiritual transformation while living in a youth detention centre. He wants to become a priest, but this is impossible due to his criminal record. When he is sent to work at a carpentry workshop in a small town, he dresses as a priest upon arrival and accidentally takes over the local parish. The arrival of a young, charismatic preacher offers the community a chance to begin healing after a tragedy that has occurred there. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, the film is inspired by a true story.

Admission to all screenings is free.
