Berlin’s Arsenal cinema is a part of the namesake institute for film and video art. More than 1000 screenings annually show innovative pieces from all four corners of the world in a programme that unites the past and the contemporary, the academic and the popular, the highbrow and the sub-cultural. Since the 1970s the Arsenal institute has been organising and the Arsenal cinema has been hosting the most daring section of Berlinale – Berlinale Forum.

Factum is the leading Croatian independent documentary production. In the fifteen years of its existence it produced more than 60 documentaries, shown at more than 70 festivals.
