“La Cocina,” the Rooney Mara-starring drama that premiered at the 2024 Berlinale, is among four feature films that will screen at the inaugural Croatian International Film Festival beginning Aug. 8.
The four-day event, set in the coastal city of Sibenik, will also feature 18 documentary and narrative shorts, giving the struggling independent film market an additional international venue to screen movies and launch careers.
Created by Croatia-born, America-based Ella Mische, Ciff was conceived as a fest that will amplify women in media and second-time directors, and will serve as an event to connect nonfiction and narrative filmmakers from around the world. Mische, who was part of the casting department on the 2022 Adam Sandler film “Hustle,” has worked in the entertainment industry for the last two decades casting, directing, acting and producing.
“Being a citizen of both Croatia and America, this festival began as a passion project,” says Mische. “I wanted to connect...

It’s been seven years since Eric Garner was killed during a police stop on Staten Island.

But next month, the Garner family is hoping to get answers: A judicial inquiry, tasked with investigating allegations of “neglect of duty” by NYPD officers and other high-ranking city officials surrounding Garner’s killing, is set to begin this October.

“Prisoners begged for mercy…they got nun.”

Opening in a palette of creepy-cool midnight blue, Ashley-Kae (Erika Edwards) retells her nighttime childhood entailing her fear of the terrifying Sister Monday (Felissa Rose) hidden under the bed, in her closet, and in her head.
