The 18th Festival of Tolerance ended on Sunday evening at the II Palaces in Zadar after screening the last 10 films from the rich four-day program, and the Audience Award for Best Film was presented.
"Loveable", the film that also opened the festival, is the best film of the 18th Festival of Tolerance based on audience opinions. Everyone could relate to this complex Norwegian drama and truly "feel" it, which focuses on a complicated marital relationship and deals with psychologically charged situations that are mirrored in other aspects of life. The film was awarded at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival with Special Jury Prize and Best Actress Award. The winner of the award was announced by Ivan Šimunić, the Head of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports of Zadar County.
