Krsto Papić
Krsto Papić (7 December 1933 – 7 February 2013) was a Croatian screenwriter and film director whose career spanned over five decades. He is generally considered among the best directors of former Yugoslavia and the only director from Croatia that can be counted among the Yugoslav Black Wave. Biography Papić was born in Vučji Do, near Nikšić in today's Montenegro. His early feature films and documentaries were part of Croatian and Yugoslav New Cinema, and often regarded as Croatian echo of the Black Wave artistic movement that mostly took place within Serbia. Additionally, Papić himself was connected to the Croatian Spring political movement during the early 1970s. He was the member of the Zagreb filmophile circle influenced by the French New Wave, so-called "Hitchcockians", along with film-makers and critics Ante Peterlić, Zoran Tadić, Branko Ivanda, Petar Krelja and centered on film critics Vladimir Vuković and Hrvoje Lisinski.

Paris International Festival Of Fantastic And Science-Fiction Film
The Paris International Festival of Fantastic and Science-Fiction Film (french: Festival international de Paris du film fantastique et de science-fiction) was a film festival hosted in France between 1972 and 1989. The event was affiliated with film periodical ''L'Écran fantastique'', and chaired by its Chief Editor Alain Schlockoff. The festival is remembered for its raucous atmosphere, which left a durable impression on a number of attending filmmakers. It was one of the founding members of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation in 1987. History Early years The first edition of the festival, which took place at Nanterre's Théâtre des Amandiers, did not feature a competition because the host city was governed by the French Communist Party, and pitting international artists against each other was viewed as incompatible with socialist values. Therefore, the second edition of the festival, which by then had moved to the Palace in Paris, was the first competitive event. ...

Slobodna Dalmacija
''Slobodna Dalmacija'' () is a Croatian daily newspaper published in Split. The first issue of ''Slobodna Dalmacija'' was published on 17 June 1943 by Tito's Partisans in an abandoned stone barn on Mosor, a mountain near Split, while the city was occupied by the Italian army. The paper was later published in various locations until Split was liberated on 26 October 1944. From the following day onward, ''Slobodna Dalmacija'' has been published in Split. Although it was originally viewed as a strictly Dalmatian regional newspaper, during the following decades ''Slobodna Dalmacija'', grew into one of the largest and most widely read daily newspapers of Yugoslavia, with its circulation reaching a zenith in the late 1980s. ''Slobodna Dalmacija'' owed much of that success to its humour section. Many of the most popular Croatian humourists, like Miljenko Smoje, Đermano Ćićo Senjanović and the trio that later founded the ''Feral Tribune'', began their careers there. Another re ...
