The Pula Film Festival is a major cultural event that transforms the ancient Pula Arena into an open-air cinema each summer. Founded in 1954, it is one of the oldest film festivals in Europe. The festival features a competitive program for Croatian and international films, along with retrospectives and special screenings. Watching a movie under the stars in this 2,000-year-old Roman arena is a unique experience that blends cinematic art with history.
