Pula Film Festival: Lijepa večer, lijep dan and Očevina on Monday, 13 July

Monday, 13.07.2026. 21:15. h

The Monday Arena programme features Ivona Juka’s Lijepa večer, lijep dan and Očevina, with daytime screenings in Kino Valli and INK.

The main evening focus in the Arena is on Lijepa večer, lijep dan, a Croatian competition title by Ivona Juka; the next Arena slot belongs to Očevina from the minority co-productions programme.

Ivona Juka’s film at the centre of the evening

Lijepa večer, lijep dan is a Croatian film directed by Ivona Juka, and the Arena slot places it at the centre of Monday’s programme. The film runs for more than two hours, so this is not a quick festival stop but an evening built around an authorial drama. Očevina comes next with a different register, as a minority co-production turning toward family, belonging and inheritance. The daytime screenings are important as well: Bijelo se pere na devedeset, Ono što treba činiti, Glavonja, Tri tjedna kasnije and Linije želje make Monday useful for visitors interested in Croatian and regional cinema beyond the Arena programme.

Screening schedule

Monday is worth planning in advance: the main choices are the Croatian competition, minority co-productions and the evening screenings in the Arena.
