Croatia holidays: Motovun Film Festival to begin next week

Travellers enjoying Adriatic cruises will not be the only ones taking in the sights of Croatia this month, with a number of well-known figures from the movie world set to visit the country for the Motovun Film Festival.

Returning for its 12th outing, the event will take place at a number of venues in Motovun from July 26th to 30th.

The main festival programme will feature dozens of films representing 34 countries and six continents.

Travellers can pay a visit to Motovun before embarking on an Adriatic cruise from one of the nearby ports to see some of the famous figures who will be attending the event, such as Terry Jones of Monty Python fame.

Julien Temple, a documentary maker famous for working with groups such as the Clash and Sex Pistols, will also be among the visitors.

Motovun is located in the Istria region near the port of Opatija.

Visitors can embark on a Croatia sailing holiday from Opatija to visit destinations such as the islands of Krk and Rab.
