Chech out what's waiting for you at Fjori Fora garden
Lara and Piero are going on their first date. As they spend the evening together, several of their personalities constantly clash inside their minds: the romantic, the rational, the instinctive, and the cautious. Battling for dominance, these quirky inner “advisors” reveal hidden thoughts, desires, and conflicts that influence Lara’s and Piero’s actions.
This hilarious romantic comedy by Italian director Paolo Genovese — known for the hit film Perfect Strangers (2016) — takes viewers on an original, never-before-seen journey through a first date that everyone will relate to.
A young girl named Aisha lives in the kingdom of Al-Andalus, where fireworks are the most popular public spectacle of the 11th century. Her dream is to become a pyrotechnician, but her father opposes the idea and wants Aisha to continue the family tradition of calligraphy. When a mysterious scientist named Txawir arrives in town, he offers to help Aisha build the rocket of her dreams — in exchange, she must give him access to a secret book guarded by her father.
This thrilling animated adventure for all ages, set against the exotic backdrop of Andalusia, had its premiere at the Málaga Film Festival.
Fjori Fora Garden, Gdinj, Hvar Island

Podcast duo Maja and Margarita from “Samo bez panike” are taking their microphones to Hvar this summer—more precisely, to the magical Fjori Fora Garden! Under the stars, with wine and lavender in the air, they’ll dive into the paradoxes of summer—between seashells and TikTok, stone houses and water tanks, kids with tablets and moms with overpacked suitcases.
🎙 The first summer pop-up podcast, with audience interaction, games, questions, and laughter.
🌅 Come for a dose of honest stories about the beauty (and madness) of summer—without panic!
Free entry!
fjori fora vrt, July 29
A woman in her forties decides to save herself from falling apart by enrolling in driving school. It seemed like a brilliant idea—until it turned out it maybe wasn’t. Two instructors, two cars, 180 hours of driving, multiple failed driving tests, one nervous breakdown, and only one life to succeed, to be someone, to become something, and to belong.
Porky Pig and Daffy Duck haven’t had much luck since a mysterious flying object crashed through their roof. With no means to pay for repairs and at risk of losing their beloved childhood home, they meet Petunia Pig, who comes to their aid and helps them get jobs at the local chewing gum factory. Everything seems to be going well — until Daffy notices that the new gum flavor, being sold and chewed all over the world, is contaminated with a mysterious green substance.
This marks the beginning of a wild adventure as Daffy, Porky, and Petunia team up to save those in danger.
First Time at the Cinema – Coco and the Black-and-White Tail
Little Coco is only two and a half years old, and she already communicates in three languages – Italian, German, and English. She lives in Austria, and recently spent unforgettable moments on the island of Hvar, where she experienced the magic of the cinema for the very first time.
At the workshop “Everyone Has Their Own Cat,” with her mom’s help, she made her own black-and-white tail, and then watched her very first film in a cinema – “The Flood.”
It’s a story about a cat who, under the pressure of natural forces, finds refuge on a boat sailing alongside other animals who share the same fate. As the lonely boat travels through mystical, flooded landscapes, its passengers must adapt to a new world in order to survive – some by overcoming their fear of others and learning to build a sense of togetherness, and others by occasionally stepping away from the pack they belong to.
A true lesson in courage, acceptance, and coexistence.
Coco’s parents say this is something she’ll remember for the rest of her life.
You know those stories that are told and retold at every family gathering?
Well, this will be one of them.
THANK YOU
@kinomediteran @visitjelsa @monia_trbuhovic – and all of you LITTLE ONES who recognized the magic of the garden and filled it with laughter, stories, and imagination.
