This year\u2019s third edition of the festival, taking place in Vrboska on the island of Hvar from 1 to 4 August 2026, focuses on the promotion of short feature film, emerging filmmakers, and developing film audiences, as well as creating accessible cultural content outside of major urban centres. The centrepiece of the programme is the competitive selection of recent Croatian and international short feature and animated films, with the best ones being awarded with the festival\u2019s Plava Palma Award [Blue Palm Award].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the opening remarks of the festival director Darija Stilin, the Summer Pop-up Cinema \u2018Tvr\u0111ava\u2019 \u2013 a space in front of St. Mary&#8217;s Church transformed during the festival into an open-air cinema under the stars \u2013 screened the short feature films \u2018President Nixon&#8217;s Present\u2019 by Igor \u0160eregi, \u2018The Hermit Crab\u2019 by Beaux Salix, \u2018Death 101\u2019 by Martin Horvat, \u2018My Grandmother Is a Skydiver\u2019 by Polina Piddubna, and \u2018SOS\u2019 by Anita Morina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the film screenings, Vrboska also hosted the \u2018Dance of the Sails\u2019, an artistic performance and traditional event organised by the Lantina Association.
