Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski and Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund are set to attend Croatia’s Slano Film Days. Pawlikowski will present his latest feature, “Fatherland,” which premiered last week at the Cannes Film Festival. At Cannes, “Fatherland” earns Pawlikowski a Best Director award, which he shares with Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, according to reports. The films’ appearances are part of the festival programming in Slano, Croatia.
Östlund is also scheduled to participate, with the festival planning to screen a selection of his short films. Both outlets frame the event as bringing together established filmmakers with recent Cannes exposure and festival-ready programming. The announcements indicate Pawlikowski’s film will be shown as the headline feature presentation, while Östlund’s contribution comes through a curated shorts selection. Details about dates, venues, and the full lineup are not included in the excerpts provided.
