DOBRA – International Festival of Experimental Cinema emerged ten years ago as a gathering of friends who shared their passion for experimental film. Throughout its trajectory, the festival has established itself as a vibrant space in Brazil, presenting screenings, performances, debates, workshops, and other initiatives that push the boundaries of cinema.

Archivio Aperto is the festival dedicated to the rediscovery of small-format film heritage — private, amateur, experimental, artist’s cinema — and their contemporary reuse organised by Home Movies – Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia.

The international competition will feature 25 films focusing on humanity and its conceptual and literal fragility, turbulent existential crises, and cracks in time, space and ourselves; the festival opens with an exhibition by Italian visual artist Rosa Barba.

21st 25 FPS Festival will take place from September 23 to 27, 2025 at Kinoteka cinema in Zagreb, with a grand opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art. After Zagreb, the festival continues at Art-kino cinema in Rijeka (September 30, October 1 and 3), and at Multimedia Cultural Centre Split (October 30).
