Sunny Split might also be a good place for the promotion
of  recent production as an Art Film Market will
take place during the Festival. It will concentrate on

Media and tehnology play an increasingly important role
in contemporary society. Recent developements in
audiovisual medium indicate that more artists adopt
new ways of expression which is often less answerable
to cinema's traditional properties. Current and newly
established relationships and structures in the art of 
the moving image could be a platform for discussion.
