Na našem festivalu je njemački igrani film 'Život drugih' Floriana Henckela von Donnersmarcka osvojio svoju prvu festivalsku nagradu, nagradu i publike i žirija, a nerijetko zagrebačka publika među prvima u Evropi pogleda filmove koji se kasnije pretvore u hitove, poput 'Borata', koji je ovdje imao svoju prvu evropsku premijeru," izjavio je direktor ZFF-a Boris T. Matić.
It was at our festival that the German feature film 'The Life of Others' by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck won its first festival awards, both the audience and the jury awards, and it is not seldom that Zagreb audiences are among the first in Europe to see movies that later turn into blockbusters, such as 'Borat', which here had its European pre-premiere," said ZFF director Boris T. Matic.
