 "I always return gladly to Dubrovnik and, hopefully, I will keep returning to the Libertas Film Festival. It is my great honor to receive the Tribute Award for direction and I am especially pleased that I have the opportunity to present Dubrovnik with the premiere of the documentary "My Dubrovnik". Thank you all so much."

 "Dubrovnik has simply thrilled me! Libertas Film Festival has been a very nice and fun experience for me. I am pleased to be here. Besides enjoying excellent films, I just adore getting to know the town and lots of new people. I like your mentality and will definitely be back!"


Gabourey Sidibe

'It has been rather easy to convey my knowledge to the talented children of Dubrovnik in such an excellently organized animated film workshop. I am pleased that this year the LFF decided to open its doors to the 'good spirit of animation'! Pleasant atmosphere, interesting people and the festival's rich program are reasons why I will fondly look back on that beautiful week in Dubrovnik and, hopefully, go back sometime in the future.'


Jasminka Bijelić Ljubić, Animated film workshop

'I had the pleasure of visiting the Libertas Film Festival in 2010, and I must say that it is quite possibly the most beautiful and relaxed film festival i all of Europe! During the day there is plenty to see in the impressive old city, and when darkness falls, outdoor screens on the most amazing locations – courtyards, beaches, squares - adds moonlit movie magic to the mix. The atmosphere of the festival is relaxed and guests - big and small - mingle and have fun.'


Louise Kidde Sauntved, Journalist (Dennmark)

 ˝We are very pleased with this award, especially as it comes from an event that does not focus on animated films in particular but film in general. We are especially happy to see that Guliver was recognized by both the audience and the professionals outside the framework of the animated film. In any case, this is definitely motivation for all the future projects," said  Barbara Markić producer of  Guliver - the best short film


Barbara Mrkić, producer of 'Guliver'

"I loved Libertas film festival in Dubrovnik because it played artistic movies in one of the most beautiful towns on earth, and because I got to meet the great people that put the whole festival together."
