This year the town of Pula hosts the 55th movie festival. This big manifestation is held in the almost 2000 year old Vespasian’s amphiteathre, the famous Arena of Pula, which becomes one of the largest cinemas in the world during the festival by hosting almost 8000 visitors. Some of the biggest names of Hollywood have marked the history of this festival, names like Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Miloš Forman, Sam Peckinpah, John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons and many others. Despite this, the biggest star of the festival was always the Arena of Pula and the atmosphere it creates. There is a rich program of national and international movies on display every year and the best movie in the national competition receives the Golden Arena. This year is also special because of the famous British actor Christopher Lee, who got a special recognition for his life achievement.
