Masterclasses led by Hollywood star Edward Norton and Cannes prize-winning director Juho Kuosmanen brought the 2023 Ponta Lopud Film Festival to a close.
Held on the idyllic island of Lopud near Dubrovnik, the festival has firmly established itself on the global stage after only three years. Previous invitees include Frances McDormand and Joel Coen of the Coen Brothers.
As well as Norton’s seminar with a select group of eight actors from across former Yugoslavia, highlights this year included Finnish director Kuosmanen presenting a seafront screening of his own The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki, which won top prize in the Un Certain Regard category at Cannes in 2016.
