Fiume o morte has claimed the first FIPRESCI Documentary Grand Prix as the top nonfiction film of 2025. The award was announced during the opening night of the Millennium Docs Against Gravity festival in Warsaw.
The international critics group selected the Croatian film over notable contenders including the Oscar winner Mr. Nobody Against Putin and the nominee The Perfect Neighbor. Director Igor Bezinović from Rijeka led the project, which uses a punk-style reenactment with 300 residents to examine the 1919 seizure of Fiume by Italian nationalists under Gabriele D’Annunzio.
